I have a scheduled tummy tuck (TT) in 10 days, and I've been experiencing post-nasal drip. I'm concerned about catching a cold. Can I take Zicam, which contains Zincum Aceticum 2x and Zincum Gluconicum 1x, 10 days before the TT?
You should get in touch with your plastic surgeon to discuss any medication usage prior to the surgery. If your cold persists or if it is the beginning of a more serious virus, it may be necessary to postpone the surgery. Best of luck.
I understand your concerns leading up to your surgery. Generally, it is important for patients undergoing elective surgery to be in optimal or close-to-optimal health before proceeding. This includes ensuring there are no pulmonary function compromises or active sources of infection present. Your plastic surgeon is the best resource to determine what medications you can take prior to surgery and if it is safe for you to proceed at this time. Best wishes.
Zicam, a form of zinc, can be taken before surgery as it aids in immune reaction and healing.
It's important to discuss any medications or supplements with your plastic surgeon's office before surgery to ensure safety.
