At-home labs · FAQ
Can I combine at-home labs with medications or other tests?
Short answer
At-home labs may be used alongside medications or other testing when a clinician finds them appropriate. Tell the clinician about every prescription, supplement, and recent test. Some products can affect lab measurements. Do not stop treatment or order overlapping panels without checking whether doing so is useful and safe.
Testing can be part of a broader care plan, but more tests are not always better. A Comprehensive panel and a Hormone panel may overlap in some measurements. Ask what each panel includes so you do not pay for duplicate testing without a clear reason. The right combination depends on your health question.
Share all prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and supplements. Some can affect the measurements or interfere with certain lab methods. Biotin is one example that can interfere with some tests. Follow the ordering clinician’s instructions rather than stopping a product on your own. Also share recent test reports and the dates they were collected.
A Medication response (PGx) test or TRU-1 GLP-1 response test does not replace review of drug interactions, health conditions, or dosing needs. Results vary. A licensed physician in your state decides whether treatment is appropriate. Ask how any new test information would change your plan before combining tests or making medication changes.
