What is the dose for the Hormone panel?
Short answer
The Hormone 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 steps. A licensed physician in your state decides whether this test is appropriate for you.
The Hormone panel measures markers in a sample you collect at home. It is not a medication, and you do not take a daily dose. The amount of sample needed depends on the collection kit. Follow your prescribing physician’s directions and the kit label rather than guessing how much to collect.
The listed markers are total and free testosterone, estradiol (E2), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Your order and kit instructions should confirm which tests apply to your men’s or women’s panel. Do not assume every marker is needed for every person.
A licensed physician in your state reviews your visit and decides whether testing is appropriate. If the label and visit instructions differ, ask for clarification before collecting. Do not collect extra samples or repeat the panel on your own. This is a one-time test purchase, not a medication refill plan.
