You should stop chewing gum at least two hours before your procedure.
You may take your regular medication as advised, with sips of water.

Please contact us in the event you are not sure about the fasting requirements and what medication you need to stop.
If you are having a procedure which involves sedation and/or general anesthetic and you are being discharged on the same day, you need to arrange for a friend or relative to take you home (or to your hotel or other accommodation) by car, and look after you for 24 hours after the procedure.
