Hello doctor, I am a 41 year old female. I have a question about anesthesia. I need to get a surgery on my foot to cut down a bump on a bone. The doctor said it is only going to be a twenty-minute procedure and I will be able to leave the hospital the same day. I take the medication Clozaril for a sleep problem (even though it is normally prescribed for schizophrenia), and I was just wondering if it is dangerous to have anesthesia in combination with this medication. Is it better to use a certain anesthetic than others when in combination with it? I was told by my doctor that I just should not take it on the morning of the operation, but I just wanted to get a second opinion because I have never had surgery before and I am a bit nervous about it. Clozaril 200 mg a day is the only medication I take. Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
Hello. So, just sit back and relax. Have a safe surgery. For more information consult an anesthesiologist online -->
