FAQs
Labs FAQ
Fasting means that you cannot not eat or drink, except plain water, for a minimum of eight hours (10 to 12 hours is preferable) before your lab draw. Avoid gum, water flavor additives or any other sugar substitutes.
If your provider orders blood work during your visit, be sure to ask if you need to “fast” beforehand. If you are unsure if you need to be “fasting,” contact your provider prior to coming to the lab.
Information about fasting requirements and checking with your provider prior to lab draw.
Taking your medication does not interfere with your “fasting.” However, some lab tests may be ordered to check your medication dosage level. If you have any questions about taking your medication prior to your lab draw, contact your provider.
Medication use generally does not affect fasting, but confirm with your provider for specific tests.

"Carol was absolutely amazing from the start. She talked with us, made jokes with us, stayed calm during the incident which helped me stay calm as well. She didn’t rush us or make us feel like this was some inconvenience."
- Birdeye user review for Salem Health Laboratory - Hawthorne"I’ve had the most incredibly frustrating time with my standard urine labs for my medications... How does a medical professional spill a sample like a freakin cartoonish sitcom set up? This is infuriating."
