Will Phen-d affect bloodwork?

**eaco3575** · 11-11-2009, 01:37 PM

Just curious.. if I were to have routine bloodwork done, will Phen-d alter that in some way??

I have to have my annual "exam", and sometimes my Dr. checked basic bloodwork.

I'm considering holding off on the Phen-d until AFTER my appointment in case she wants blood.

Does anyone have an idea if Phen-d would affect bloodwork results.
THANK YOU!

I am not 100% positive on this, but I don't think it will. I know that regular dr prescribed phentermine will show up on blood tests, but not sure about the phen-d. If you are okay with waiting until after your appointment that would be fine, but if you want to go ahead and start it, I would just take the medicine bottle with me to my appointment to show them exactly what you are taking to remove any doubts.

Good luck!! Hope all goes well!

Hi; I don't know whether it will or not. Depends on the screen done. Take the bottle wih you and show your doctor and they will allow for it in your bloodwork.
That way, it may show up but will be disregarded.....I THINK.

I am pretty sure that is how works, Susan..being in the trucking industry we are on call for drug and urine testing all the time and as long as we provide them with any prescriptions or supplements that we are taking, they write it down to take out of the screen.

One thing, though...I ALWAYS make sure I take the medicine with me when I go to make sure there are no mistakes in what I am taking!! And it helps to keep from forgetting if you take more than one thing, also!!
