Lax- since you say you only using 1 med- then it is straight forward to research yourself.
This issue would come up if you are taking multiple meds & your Dr is unaware, and they prescribe something else, or as in your example- you are scheduled for surgery-
then things can rapidly get complicated.
eg. if you take a blood thinner like Warfarin- there are a lot of meds < even over the counter cough & cold stuff > which you cannot take or must only take, under supervision of Dr.
So what you disclose depends on what you are taking, and how many different ones, and what the situation is that comes up < like surgery especially >.
Surgery would be full disclosure IMHO...................
Be careful out there.....................................Folken
