Blood test what to do with meds please?

5 Replies

Hi, I've ordered a blood test from blue horizon thyroid plus 10. Can anyone tell me what I need to do in terms of taking meds. Do I leave taking them until after? If so how long do I leave ma last dose before testing? I take meds twice, morning and then lete afternoon.

Many Thanks

Katie

KatieKatie,

Do a fasting (water only) blood test early in the morning and take thyroid meds after the blood draw.

Don't take meds within 24 hrs. Take them with you and take them after the test.
