bloodtest dubaiBEFORE COLLECTION
How should you prepare before sample collection?
Preparation depends on the exact ordered test. Many tests need no special preparation, while some require fasting, timing around medicines or supplements, or avoiding strenuous exercise. Confirm the written instructions before the appointment and do not stop prescribed medicine unless your healthcare professional tells you to.
- 01
Confirm the order
Check your name, requested markers, sample type and whether the request came from a clinician.
- 02
Ask about fasting
Do not assume. If fasting is required, confirm the exact duration and whether plain water is allowed.
- 03
List medicines and supplements
Tell the provider what you take and when; never stop treatment based only on website advice.
- 04
Share collection concerns
Mention fainting, difficult veins, anticoagulants, allergies or fear of needles before collection begins.
