You're welcome, Trish. I know my surgeon's office tends to be over cautious. I'm fine with that but you did the right thing by asking the pharmacist. There isn't any NSAIDs in there so it really is relatively safe. I think the reason my surgeon's office doesn't recommend it is because early out it may be a bit of a problem and it may be a problem for a select group of people.
