Instructions Regarding Beta Blockers
Beta Blockers are used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma and other things such as migraines. If you are currently taking a Beta Blocker, you will need to check with the doctor who prescribed it to see if you may safely stop this medication for 7 days prior to testing. You will not be able to receive the standard allergy test or allergy injections while taking a Beta Blocker. Your prescribing doctor may want to switch you to a different class of medications if you are considering allergy treatment after your testing is completed. If your prescribing doctor does not feel switching your current beta blocker is right for you, other options for testing and treatment can be discussed.
