A member asked:
I was supposed to fast for a blood test, will drinking water and taking ibuprofen 800mg and penicillin 500 mg affect the teat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What test?: It depends on the test being done. It would be better to not take ibuprofen, do take water and penicillin, especially if you have an active infection or are taking penicillin as a prophylactic.
