Lipid profile fasting query
Hi,
My doctor advised 12 hour fasting without any time of food intake before the blood test. I had dinner at 9pm and I plan to take the blood after 9am tomorrow. But I had the Cholestrol medicine Atorva 10mg at 11:30pm today.Will this hinder my fasting?. Is it better to postpone the blood test to another day? I couldnt check with my doctor as it was too late. Please let me know.

No.
When you go for any blood tests for which starvation is a prerequisite then all the medicines which you are taking regularly should be taken in spite of starvation.
