Root canal while on Acalabrutinib

[RamOren]

I am having a root canal in two weeks, and I wonder if I need to stop Acalabrutinib for 3 days before the treatment? any experience with that?

I wonder about this sort of thing also..There seems to be differences for individuals. Since I just had two major surgeries recently, and being off my acal the first one sent me into false readings of worsening lymphoma. Since that happened, the second surgery needed no breaks as my platelets and a couple other tests showed that I was fine staying on it. So I sure would like to know also why the big warnings of bleeding vs other things that can go wrong while off it. Since you will be off only a few days, you will likely be fine. Best of luck to you.

HiMy consultant took me.off Acalabeutinib 4 days before and 6 days after. Plus started antibiotics 4 days before for 2 weeks.

Thank you. Do you remember what type of antibiotic it was?

Whenever I have any procedure my doctor tells me to stop Ibrutinib. That includes root canal treatment. Its best to ask how many days before and after. Even a colonoscopy. Anne uk
