I'm getting an Epidural Steroid Injection in my back, and I drank Orange Juice without thinking...?

Can I still get the injection? I drank it an hour and fifteen minutes ago. My paper says not to drink anything 6 hours prior to my procedure.

But under conscious sedation, it says on another sheet that I can drink clear liquids up to 8oz 2 hours prior to my appointment.

Will the orange juice I drank affect anything causing complications? Can I still get the Epidural Steroid Injection in an hour?

    You might get sick to your stomach and vomit due to the sedative. That is why they tell you not to eat or drink. It will not effect the activity of the steroid
