What about other medication?
You should be able to take prescribed medication, though you may need to use capsules. Break big tablets in half or dissolve them in water, so they do not get stuck in the stoma and make you sick. Always ask the doctor who prescribes the drugs about this. You may need to avoid taking aspirin and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers because they may irritate the stomach. Please consult with your surgeon on their specific recommendations.
