QUESTION: How does the potential for biotin lab interference affect pharmacy practice and its role in patient care? The patient in the above case is taking a high dosed biotin supplement and had tests of concern. Her low TSH and high T4 could be associated with biotin use, especially if she...
In a new update, the agency wants to make the public andhealth care providersaware of biotin interference with lab tests so that patients, physicians, and laboratories can work together to help prevent harmful false test readings. There is not sufficient information to know if stopping biotin con...
Interference with Lab Tests: High doses of biotin can interfere with certain laboratory tests, including those measuring hormone levels and thyroid function. This interference may result in inaccurate test results, leading to misdiagnosis or inappropriate medical management. Allergic Reactions: Some individ...
The US Food and Drug Administration issued a safety communication regarding biotin interference with laboratory tests. Education and communication between laboratorians, providers, and patients play an important role in investigating potential lab interference and the need for alternative lab assays for an...
Interference with lab tests Biotin supplements can interfere with specific lab tests, such asthyroidfunction tests, and may cause inaccurate results.
