Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. When should I have my blood drawn for the trimipramine test?
The optimal sampling time is a minimum of 12 hours after your last oral dose to reflect steady‑state trough levels.
2. Why is the price 1,800 AED and why does it take 2‑3 weeks?
The LC‑MS/MS method delivers superior sensitivity (0.1 ng/mL) and specificity; samples are batched internationally to maintain rigorous quality control, resulting in a 2‑3‑week report.
3. Can I take my medication on the morning of the test?
No, you should hold the morning dose and take it exactly after the blood draw, then resume your normal schedule, unless your psychiatrist instructs otherwise.
