Whether and when to discontinue the medicines used by the child, it is best to determine with the doctor referring for the examination, you can possibly ask the medical worker registering for the examination. However, you should not stop taking medication on your own. In the case of some patients, discontinuation of medicines could lead to dangerous exacerbations and the doctor may recommend that they continue to take them anyway. The result of the spirometry test may be disturbed primarily by bronchodilators - inhaled or oral theophylline. When it comes to antiallergic drugs (such as Rupafin) or antileukotriene drugs (such as Singulair) - as I mentioned - you should consult a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja Before the spirometry test, it is recommended to stop smoking (preferably one day before the test, but not less than 2 hours before), consume alcohol, coffee and tea up to 4-8 hours before the test, and up to 2 hours before spirometry it is best not to eat large meals. It is best to choose comfortable, loose, and proceed to the examination after at least 15-30 minutes of rest. The examination should be taken by a patient without symptoms of infection.
