Instructions Regarding Beta Blockers

Beta Blockers are commonly prescribed for high blood pressure, heart conditions, glaucoma, and sometimes for migraines. If you are currently taking a Beta Blocker, you will need to consult your prescribing physician to determine if it is safe to stop this medication for 7 days before your allergy test. While taking a Beta Blocker, you cannot undergo standard allergy testing or receive allergy injections.

If you are considering allergy treatment after testing, your doctor may recommend switching you to a different type of medication. However, if your physician advises against changing your Beta Blocker, alternative testing and treatment options can be explored.
