As my husband may be facing minor outpatient surgery (tendinitis repair, elbow), and as he also has a history of herniated disks, (and has been prescribed Demoral in the past, before we knew he had PD), and may one day have to undergo heart valve replacement surgery due to MVP) I am compiling a file of drugs contraindicated, and other information which may be necessary to tell the Doctors- pre- and post-op. I am assured that he will have a regional block (for the elbow), as opposed to a general anesthesia. I have already given the doctor the list of contraindicated drugs posted on the list, and have made them aware that Demoral is not to be used. However, what may be used? I have also seen that Percocet (which he has also been prescribed in the past) is not compatible with PD (aggravates the symptoms?), so what, if anything, is?? Is Codine OK? Morphine? Other? What has been your experience with various - what do you use successfully for pain relief? Should we stop the Eldepryl before a minor surgery, or is this only true for a major surgery using general anesthesia. Thank You in advance - I have no doubt that I wil receive all the info I need. p.s. If any of you feel this will 'clutter' the list, please reply to my e-mail address directly ([log in to unmask]).
