You should check with your doctor(s).

Sometimes it may be necessary to stop other medications, but it depends on the specifics of your treatment and the risks involved and only your doctor will be able to advise you on this matter.

For instance, if it increases the risks of bleeding, there may be another medication they want to give you that may make the risk worse.

Do you know what drugs they'll be using?

Are there any other questions or comments?
