Before receiving an epidural injection, it's important to discuss any medications with your healthcare provider. Generally, you may be advised to continue taking medications like acetaminophen or certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), but blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, aspirin) may need to be paused to reduce bleeding risk. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions regarding medication management prior to the procedure.

Yes, it definitely ok to take ativan before a cortisone shot. My neurosurgeon prescribed me 2 x 1mg ativan to take before my cortisione shot in my spine. No danger at all. All it will do is relax you but don't drive after, you have to be accompanied by someone and driven home in case it hits you a little more than you thought it would.
It's generally advisable to consult with your healthcare provider about taking Cialis before an epidural injection. Cialis (tadalafil) can affect blood flow and may interact with certain medications used during the procedure. Your doctor can provide personalized guidance based on your medical history and current medications. Always follow their recommendations for the safest approach.
At what level do one take meds
can
I have never heard of taking BP meds with food. However some take their medicine in the morning and some in the evening. I take half in the AM and half at night. The key is what is best for you in a 24 hour period? Some BP meds make one tired, so; they take before bed. Also, if you take a diuretic I would take it early so you do not wake up all night to use the toilet. Ask your MD.
No, you can not. Ibuprofen is classed as a NSAID. Others in this class are Aleve, Naproxen, Advil, Celebrex. Neither can you take any blood thinners such as coumadin (warfarin). You must discontinue use for 7 days prior to surgery.
Not the mild ones but you should always consult your doctor before taking any new meds.
