Adrenal saliva test

[Caze]

I am doing the Regenerus saliva test. I normally take my thyroid meds (T4 and T3) first thing with water. Is this still OK to do before the first sample which is 30 mins after waking.

Many thanks

They tell you to take essential medication as normal.

I take mine around 4-5am when I need the bathroom, then I go back to sleep and do the test as instructed when I wake up later, so I'd do my first sample possibly about 8-8.30am (which is actually about the time the thyroid meds would peak in the blood, but as it's a saliva test I honestly don't know if it will make a difference).

If you have any doubts I'd ring them, the lady who usually answers the phone is very pleasant and as helpful as she can be.

Many thanks. As I take split doses of T3 - it would be very difficult to manage. I will carry on with the test to-day as planned but I will give Regenerus a call before I post to-morrow just to be absolutely sure.

I take split doses too, first around 4-5pm, second at 5pm, so I just carry on as normal. I can't see the problem, they tell you to take essential medication as normal.

If you're doing the test today, surely you would already have taken your first dose anyway and have done 2 samples by now, or fairly close to second one as that should be done before lunch.

Yes just about to do 3rd spit now. I am just going to take meds as normal.
