Hello, can taking the KreoActiv PLUS supplement, one capsule a day, but for a long time, affect (increase or decrease) the result of the blood amylase level test? If so, how long before the test should I stop taking this supplement so that it does not falsify the result? Thank you.

The KreoActiv PLUS dietary supplement, which contains digestive enzymes, may affect the results of laboratory tests, including the level of amylase in the blood. It should be discontinued a few days before the test (at least 2-3 days).
The blood amylase test is most often used to diagnose specific diseases of the pancreas. This organ is an essential part of both the digestive and endocrine systems. Disorders of the pancreas can lead to the occurrence of severe diseases and the development of serious complications.
I encourage you to inform your doctor about all the medications and dietary supplements you use, which will allow you to choose safe and effective pharmacotherapy. Only your doctor can judge whether a combination of these drugs is safe and appropriate for your current clinical condition.
