Testing:
Testing is done on your back. Please no one piece clothing. Patients scheduled for allergy testing must stop taking certain medications prior to their visit, such as antihistamines, and other examples are listed below. If you are unclear regarding a certain medication, either ask your pharmacist or contact our office. Examples include:

Do NOT stop taking any asthma inhalers (eg. Advair, albuterol) prior to your visit unless instructed by your physician.
Continue taking other routine medications, such as those for high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
Please bring a complete list of ALL current medications you take on a regular or “as-needed” basis. Also bring your pharmacy information (name and address) to your appointment, as we routinely send prescriptions electronically. Keep in mind that your initial visit will take 2-3 hours. During the testing procedure, we will be using a marking pen on your back and arms. This may cause your shirt to become stained.
