Stopping Naprosyn before FNA

cody12
Hi,
I am having a FNA on April 17. I was wondering if any of you had to stop aspirin or Aleve Motrin type drugs days before the biopsy. I plan on calling tomorrow but I want to stop tonight if anyone has an answer to my question. Thanks!!

You have to stop all asprin, Motrin and Aleve type products 10 days before FNA as they can cause excess bleeding.  That is what my dr. told me before each of my FNA's.  Was allowed to take tylenol for pain.
