A member asked:
Does tylenol affect an fobt test? the stool samples must be collected on 3 consecutive days or 3 different days (not necessarily 3 days in a row)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
FOBT: Tylenol, which does not irritate or inflame the gastrointestinal tract, will not cause occult bleeding and thus does not affect the result of FOBT.
