In most cases, you do not need to stop your medications before having pathology tests. However, this can vary depending on the type of test you are having and the medications you are taking.
You should never stop or change any medication unless your doctor has specifically advised you to do so.
Some medications can influence certain blood tests, so please bring a full list of your current medications and supplements, including dosages.
Our collection staff may need this information to ensure your results are interpreted correctly.
If you are unsure whether a particular medication affects your test, please speak with your doctor before your collection.
