Can Pramipexole Be Taken With Clear Liquid Diet Before Robotic Prostectemy Procedure?

I am having a robotic prostectemy procedure tomorrow morning at 8:30AM. I am on clear liquids until midnight and then nothing by mouth after that. I have Restless Leg Sndrome and take pramipexole every night 2 hours before I go to sleep. Can I safely take this medication during this clear liquids period? My surgeons office is already closed so I can t contact them directly.

Yes, it will be very unlikely to be in the stomach 5 hrs later. The amount of liquid to get it down is within the bounds of a clear liquid diet. They should have mentioned NOT to take anything AFTER going to bed, but this is BEFORE going to bed.
