Hello Forum,

Has anyone had elective surgery while on Azilect? I'm currently taking 1mg daily of Azilect and 1.5mg daily of Miraplex. I need to have an abdominal hernia repair before it becomes emergency surgery. Everything I read online says Azilect must be discontinued 2 weeks before surgery. While reading the surgery information about Azilect I reviewed all the foods you're not suppose to eat. I regularly eat cheese (cheddar not blue), drink red wine, a have taken cipro without any problems. I plan to talk to a few MDs before I go off this drug but wanted to know the "forum's " experience.
I can't imagine how I'll function the couple of weeks off Azilect.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Betsy
