It is important to tell the doctor about all other medications being used, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to the doctor.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Reactivity to diagnostic skin test antigens may be temporarily depressed in patients who have recently been vaccinated with live virus vaccines. Falsely insignificant or false-negative results may occur in such patients.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of the potential for falsely insignificant or false-negative results when performing delayed-hypersensitivity skin testing on patients who have recently received live virus vaccines. Diagnostic skin test antigens should be administered before, simultaneously with, or 4 to 6 weeks after immunization.
