If it is a drug used permanently, then there is no need to discontinue Amitriptylinum before surgery. Sudden withdrawal threatens with a sharp deterioration of well-being and the so-called withdrawal syndrome. Information about the medications you are taking is important for the anesthesiologist because he must consider reducing the doses of other medications that may be used. The interaction between Amitriptylinum and some drugs used under anesthesia ( inhalation gases, the addition of adrenaline to local anesthetic drugs) may manifest itself in a difficult to control pressure jump, arrhythmias, braiding in the postoperative period. Warned about taking this drug, the anesthesiologist will modify his anesthesia plans accordingly to prevent this type of complication. I enclose a detailed description of the preparation you are asking about: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/4689/amitriptylinum-vp-tabletki-powlekane/apteki gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to book the drug in the nearest stationary pharmacy.
