Your last dose of Armour before the blood test should be 8-12 hours. So say you do your blood test at 8am then your last dose of Armour the day before should be between 8pm and midnight.

You will need to change the time(s) of your Armour dose(s) the day before to accommodate this.

After the blood test has been done, take that day's dose immediately, then your second dose as normal.
