Is it safe to take phenteramine when you are going under with anesthesia?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Your surgeon and your anesthesiologist are the only two who can advise you regarding the types of medications that are okay to take when you have surgery scheduled. For your protection, let both of these doctors know if you are taking phenteramine, or any other medication, whether it is prescription or over-the-counter, prior to surgery.

I don't think it is safe to take phenteramine if you are going to have anesthesia, but it is best to discuss this with your doctor to discuss the risks.

It may depend on what substance is being used to put you under. If you have concerns, contact your doctor or the anestgiologist that will be involved in your surgery. They should be aware of any medications you are taking, but to ensure safety, you can notify them personally and ask questions to soothe any fears.
