2Medications Check List
There are numerous medications, including some anti-depressant medications, that interfere with testing and
should not be stopped due to the nature of the drugs. Please check with your physician or pharmacist if you
have any questions about specific drugs not listed below. If you cannot comfortably or safely hold your
medication, please discuss this with your physician.
The following medications (over the counter and prescription) MUST be discontinued for at least
5-7 days prior to any skin testing.
Be aware, most oral allergy medications and some allergy nasal sprays and eye drops contain
antihistamines. Many cough and cold medications contain antihistamines. Some sleep aids, as well
as antacids, contain or have antihistamine effects. Pay attention to off-brands as well. This list is not all-
