How is the blood sample taken?

The needle is then inserted into the vein in the arm and the blood sample is collected in the vacutainer.
Should I inform my doctor if I am taking any medicines?
Yes, please inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines or supplements as it might interfere with the test results.
