I accidentally took alka seltzer plus cold 2 days ago. I have surgery in the morning. I am freaking out! I have been waiting forever! Will they still do the surgery?

You should tell the doctor but I don't see why not.  People take very strong prescription medication up to a few hours before surgery just be sure to tell the doctor what you took and exactly when.

Thank you. They did the surgery. They were more worried about the people taking it daily.

Glad to hear you've got the surgery behind you and you're on the mend.

When I had my surgery, they had me stop all blood thinning products something like 10 days before the surgery. I take a powerful thinner, plus other products that can cause that as a side-effect. The surgeon told me it just ruins their day when a patient bleeds out during the operation.
