    Hi Girls,

    When should I be taking Arnica tablets? Pre-op or Post-op?

    Thank you xx

    Hiya Lianne, My Nurse told me at my pre op to start taking 30c arnica tablets 2 weeks before my op (because I bruise really easily) but they normally advise to take the 6c 2 weeks before op then go upto 30c after too xx

    Can anyone who took Arnica confirm how much a day?

    I’ve now got the 30c tablets but keep reading conflicting advice online.

    Is it one 30c tablet once a day or a few times a day pre op?

    Thanks!

    On my box it says take 2 tablets every 2 hours for the first 6 doses and then 2 tablets four times a day from then on. X

    Hi Cliona. I had arnica 30c from boots. i took 2 pills every 2 hours for the first 6 doses then 2 tablets 4 times every day. Started 5 days before op and continued for 7 days afterwards. I had really severe bruising after my op, so not sure if arnica helped, but I took it and continued to take it hoping that it would help.

    I would say it’s worth taking and deffo doesn’t do any harm xx

    I bought the 30c ones from Holland and barret. I started taking them the day before surgery. Then 2 tablets 4 times a day for a week. I was lucky and literally had no bruising at all so I either don’t bruise or they really worked for me. Either way I’m really happy and glad I took them. Defo worth a try x
