Allergy Tests

How should I prepare for the test?

Skin Prick Test:

Tell your doctor about all medicines you’re taking, including over-the-counter medicines. Don’t take antihistamines for 3 to 7 days before the test. It’s okay to use nose [nasal] steroid sprays and asthma medicines. They will not interfere with skin tests. Talk to your allergist’s staff before the testing to find out which medications you can continue using or look here (add link to form.)
