Is It Safe To Take Ativan Before Health Check And Blood Test?

I have a health check that includes blood work in about 6 hours that i have been fasting for. I usually take ativan in the evening for anxiety but held off as i was unsure if i was ok to take it or not. Im struggling pretty badly with out it both with insomnia and anxiety now. Is it ok to take it?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

It should be okay to take this medication. When we do health check, we want to see things they way they are when you are going about your normal live. Also, small water and this pill will not equate to a non fasting state. Please, consider doing so.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
