Some blood tests require fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8-12 hours before the test. Your healthcare provider will inform you if this is necessary. Otherwise, you can eat and drink normally before the test.

Blood is usually drawn from a vein in your arm using a small needle. The process typically takes just a few minutes and causes minimal discomfort.

Generally, you should continue taking your medications as prescribed. However, some tests may require you to stop taking certain medications temporarily. Consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.

The turnaround time for test results can vary depending on the type of test. Routine tests typically take 1-3 days, while more specialised tests may take longer. You will be informed when your results are ready.

Blood drawing is generally safe. You might experience minor bruising or discomfort at the puncture site. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or excessive bleeding.

Inform the phlebotomist immediately if you feel faint. They will help you lie down and monitor your condition until you feel better. It’s also a good idea to rest for a few minutes after the procedure.
