Frequently asked questions
Does a positive result mean I am allergic?

How is the sample collected?
A small blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm, usually in a clinic or lab.
How long until I get results?
Most results are available within 1–3 business days.
Can I take allergy medicine before the test?
Ask your clinician. Some antihistamines may need to be stopped briefly, but do not change any medication without medical advice.
