If you are on medications, discuss them with your healthcare provider. Certain medications can alter blood tests, leading to an incorrect diagnosis.
Ensure that you discuss all medications with your doctor, from blood thinners to alcohol intake, antidepressants, and over-the-counter drugs.
Not only will it help you evade altering the blood test, but it can also save you from possible health complications during the blood draw.
If you are on any of the above medications, your doctor may ask you to wait 24 and 48 hours before having your blood drawn.
