Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and the Corps of Discovery crossed the North American continent from 1804 to 1806, traveling from St. Louis, Missouri to the Pacific coast and back.
Now they want me to undrego a colonoscopy in three weeks to rule out any problems in the large bowel but the problem with this is they have to stop the plavix and aspirin for five days prior to the procedure which I think is taking a risk from all the stuff I have been reading. My questions are:
In others cases, low-dose aspirin may be continued based on your medical condition. Please discuss with your surgeon. Coumadin â discuss this with the prescriber as to the best time to stop this medication before surgery. Celebrex- stop 1 week prior to surgery. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) - stop 1 week prior to surgery. Naprosyn (Aleve) - stop 1 week prior to surgery. Plavix â discuss this with the prescriber as to the best time to stop this medication before surgery.
