A member asked:

Can taking a prescription anti-inflammatory medicine (mobic) interfere with thyroid biopsy (fna) results? or a daily allergy pill (claritin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If there are doubts about the biopsy, and it's clear that the lesion was sampled by the operator, then get two more pathologists to look at the slide.
