My dad takes Ecospirin AV 75 every night, and he's got a cataract surgery scheduled for January 7th. The doctor said to stop taking Ecospirin AV 75 five days before the operation. Does that sound right to you? I just want to make sure it's okay.

It is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and discontinue Ecospirin AV 75 as instructed before the surgery.
