A member asked:
When not to take an allergy pills / inhalers before an allergist appointment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with your doc: Antihistamines will interfere with skin testing and some last longer than others. There are other drugs which can also interfere with skin testing. Your allergist will have a list of these. Most would not advise skipping asthma inhalers except for very specific circumstances.
