Is It Permissible To Take Lortab Before Carotid Endarterectomy Surgery?
My grandmother will be getting a Carotid Endarterectomy within the next two weeks and she wanted to know if it was ok for her to take lortab before the surgery? She has bad tooth pain and doesn t think she ll be able to manage without taking it, but doesn t want to cause any risk to the surgery.
