More Frequently Asked Questions
How is the sample collected?
A small blood sample is taken from your arm, just like any routine lab test.
No special preparation or fasting is needed.
Is any preparation needed before the test?
No special preparation is required.
You can eat and drink normally before the test.
If you are on antihistamines or steroids, inform your doctor — some medicines may interfere with skin tests (not with blood tests).
How long will it take to get the report?
Reports are usually available within 5- 7 working days, depending on the number of allergens tested.
What does the Allergy Test report show?
The report gives:
- – Allergen name (e.g., dust mite, peanut, pollen)
- – IgE level (quantitative value)
- – Reactivity grade (low, moderate, high)
Your doctor can interpret the results and help you identify triggers to avoid or manage better.
Are these tests safe?
- – Yes, the tests are completely safe and non-invasive.
- – They only require a blood sample.
- – There’s no risk of allergic reaction during testing (unlike skin prick tests).
How can the test help in treatment?
Knowing your allergens allows your doctor to:
- – Advise avoidance measures (to minimize exposure)
- – Prescribe targeted medications or desensitization therapy
- – Create a personalized allergy management plan
This leads to better control of symptoms and improved quality of life.
Can allergy tests change over time?
Yes, your allergy profile may change with age or environmental exposure.
Retesting is suggested every 2–3 years or when new symptoms appear.
