What is the dose for the Comprehensive panel with 100+ biomarkers?
Short answer
The Comprehensive panel is a lab test, not a medication, so it does not have a drug dose. Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the kit label for the sample amount and collection schedule. Do not collect extra samples or repeat the test unless your physician tells you to.
The Comprehensive panel tests 100+ biomarkers. It includes metabolic, lipid, thyroid, hormone, and complete blood count (CBC) testing. It is not a medicine, and there is no daily drug dose to take. The amount of sample needed depends on the collection kit provided.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether this panel is appropriate after reviewing your online visit. Follow that physician’s directions and the kit label for the sample amount, preparation, and collection schedule. If the directions do not match or are unclear, ask for help before collecting your sample.
Do not assume that a larger sample or more frequent testing gives more useful information. Use only the supplied collection materials as directed. Do not repeat the test on your own to check a single unexpected value. Ask your physician whether another test is needed and when to collect it. This panel is a one-time purchase, not an ongoing medication or refill plan.
