AT A GLANCE
Tell your care team about every supplement and ask them when to stop or restart it for your procedure or test.
Tell the clinician arranging your procedure or blood test about every supplement you take, including NEOtrition. Bring the full labels and note the amounts and the last time you took them.
Ask for clear instructions about whether to pause a product, when to stop, and when it may be restarted. There is no single stop-and-restart interval that suits every supplement, procedure, or test.
Surgery and anesthesia
Contact your surgical team in advance. Some supplements can affect bleeding or interact with medicines used around surgery. Follow the team’s instructions, and tell them if you have taken a supplement after the advised stopping time.
Blood tests
Some ingredients can interfere with laboratory results. If you take a product containing biotin, tell the ordering clinician and laboratory before the test. Ask whether any ingredient on your label requires special instructions.
For an urgent procedure or test, disclose recent supplement use immediately. Do not delay necessary care while waiting for a retail support response.
If your clinician needs a product detail, send us their specific question.
