what medicines can't you take before allergy testing?
My little boy has to have allergy testing.However I have heard that you can't take certain medicines before the test...See his pediatrician refered him to a ent specialist.They told me that he would get a packet in the mail and I never got one.He has to go tomorrow to have this done,and he takes Claritin everyday.I was wondering if I should or shouldn't give this to him tonight?? Please help...Thanks..
I am looking for my sheet that list's the medicines to avoid, however I know for sure that Claritin and Zyrtec (and anything else with an antihistamine in it) should be avoided according to sheet I am hunting for, 7 days prior to the visit. I actually had to reschedule my three year old's appt. because he had taken Zyrtec 3 out of the 7 days prior. Now I was informed they maybe able to do blood work instead but I just opted to reschedule.
