- Stool softeners and stomach-protecting medications
Coverage and prior authorization
Most post-operative prescriptions are covered, but newer anti-seizure medications may need a prior authorization, and plans may limit opioid and muscle relaxant quantities. When your neurosurgeon’s office sends prescriptions ahead of your surgery or discharge date, we can check coverage early and follow up on anything the plan needs.
Questions
How do I follow a steroid taper?
Take each dose exactly as written, since the amount usually drops every few days. Our pharmacists can lay out the schedule day by day for you.
Can I drive while taking my post-surgery medications?
Ask your neurosurgeon. Some pain, muscle relaxant and anti-seizure medications cause drowsiness, and our pharmacists can explain the warnings on each label.
