Hi everyone. Could you advise me when to stop taking NDT before having a blood test. I have noted to stop vitaminB for a week before.

Many thanks

Have your last dose of NDT 8 to 12 hours before the blood draw. :)

Thankyou for your reply. I will have to try and adjust the timings as I normally take it about 7 am.

You could split it in half on the day before the blood draw, and take the second dose 8 to 12 hours before the blood draw.
