Yes you can. If you are going to have a General Anaesthetic for Surgery, make sure you take it with just a little water a few hours before the surgery. Remember you have to stay fasting at least 4 - 5 hours before the anaesthetic.

You should avoid taking any medications prior to having surgery. Unless your pain is extremely severe you should avoid it. If necessary, you should take one extra strength Tylenol with a SMALL SIP of water exactly 2 hours before your scheduled surgery.

Also inform the nurse or surgeon that you did consume Tylenol two hours prior to coming for the surgery. If you forget to tell them, it could prove deadly.

Yes. Tylenol is not a blood thinner like ibuprofen and Aspirin and can be taken before surgery.

Yes. Because Tylenol is not a blood thinner it is fine to take before surgery. Avoid aspirin and ibuprofen.
