Bring only the documents you already have. You do not need to have completed every test listed.

Even if the reaction happened a long time ago and you remember little or have few documents, the information you do have remains useful.

  • - Take an overview, then a clear close-up.
  • - Use natural light, without a filter or direct flash if possible.
  • - Photograph the same area at several times: onset, progression and resolution.
  • - Include a size reference without covering the lesion.
  • - Record the date, time, symptoms, suspected exposure and treatment taken.
Bright and reassuring waiting roomTime to allowShow the advice
  • Initial assessment: often 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the procedures.
  • Simple follow-up: often 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Patch tests: several appointments during the same week.
  • Challenge test: half a day or a full day in a specialist unit.

The times stated in your appointment letter take priority.

Should I stop a medicine before my appointment?Never change a treatment by yourself

The medicines concerned and the time intervals depend on the planned tests. Follow the instructions from your allergy centre and the prescriber first. If you cannot stop a medicine, contact the centre rather than cancelling the appointment automatically.

Continue your maintenance asthma treatment unless you have received personalised medical instructions to do otherwise.
