Ask the Pharmacist

Should Omegor Test be performed on an empty stomach?

Dear Stephen,

it is preferable to do the self-sampling on an empty stomach, such as in the morning. Alternatively, it is advisable to observe at least four hours of fasting after a light meal without carbohydrates and low in fat (e.g., grilled white meat and vegetables) before performing the self-sampling.

I remain available for further information.

Sincerely, Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and Pharmaceutical Chemist
