What Should You Avoid Before PRF PRP Injections?
Anti-Inflammatory Medications:​
-
Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, or Naproxen for a minimum of seven days before the procedure. Why? These medications can thin the blood, increasing the risk of bleeding and bruising during the injection process.
​
Alcohol Consumption:
-
Do not consume alcohol at least 24 hours prior to the injection. Why? Alcohol can cause dehydration, potentially leading to increased pain and discomfort during and after the procedure.
​
Strenuous Physical Activity:
-
Refrain from engaging in physical activities that may strain or stress the injection area, including strenuous exercise, running, or lifting heavy weights. Why? Such activities could impact the effectiveness and comfort of the PRF injection.
