What do I need to do with these medications?
It is important that you provide as much information about your medications when you fill in your health summary for Dr Wan. In this way Dr Wan can best advise you how to manage your medications prior to your surgery.
Dr Wan will contact you by phone a few days before the operation. Please be aware that you will receive a phone call from an unknown or new number - please do not ignore this phone call. Failure to adhere to your medication plan may result in your procedure being postponed or cancelled for safety reasons,
