You should be able to take the things (prescription and over the counter) you took prior to surgery. Except for certain drugs like extended release that should not be crushed or chewed; you may need to break tablets in half or dissolve them in water so they do not get stuck in the stoma and make you sick. I was told to avoid aspirin and non-steroid anti-inflammatory pain relievers because they may irritate the stomach (aspirine, ibuprofin and naprosyn). When in doubt, call your doctor.
