Best Answer

No, you should tell your anaesthesiologist all the drugs you're taking and he'll tell you what you should stop, and how much time before the intervention.

Some medications should be taken and others should not. It is important to discuss this with your anesthesiologists. Do not interrupt medications unless your anesthesiologist or surgeon recommends it.
