Glucosomine/Chrondroitin pre-op

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone --

I am one week 'til surgery. Does anyone know if it's okay to

continue with Glucosomine/Chrondroitin, or should I stop (as I did

Vitamin E)?

Thanks!

Kathleen,

In reviewing the contents of my G/C and going over a list published

by Dr. Rabkin's office of drugs to avoid preop, there is nothing that

prohibits your continuing to take it. In fact, I think its kind of a

wonder drug, myself! The pills are just so huge, its hard for me to

take it now!

Hugs,

Theresa
