A few simple steps before your visit help your results come back accurate and your appointment run smoothly. Here is everything to know before you come in for your health screening at AG Lifecare Clinic.

Fasting
Fast for 8–10 hours before your screening. Plain water is allowed. Fasting is required for blood tests and abdominal ultrasound.
Smoking & Alcohol
Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 8 hours before your appointment.
Medications
Continue your regular medications unless advised otherwise. Do not take diabetes medication while fasting unless specifically instructed by your doctor. If you are taking blood thinners, consult your doctor before the screening.
Menstruation
If you are female, check your expected menstrual period and, if possible, schedule your health screening outside your menstruation dates.
