As I have already written, the exact time of discontinuation of medication should be consulted with a doctor. I don't know what medications you are taking or what you are allergic to. As an outsider, I am not able to provide you with individual medical advice on the basis of a short description alone.
If this situation raises doubts for you, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
Yes, how many days do you have to leave

Yes, that's true. Before performing a complete IgE test, it is recommended to discontinue antihistamines for a few days, as they can affect the level of IgE antibodies in the blood and falsify the results.
The exact time of discontinuation of medication should be consulted with a doctor. The total IgE test does not require fasting, but it is worth informing your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
The total IgE test measures the concentration of IgE antibodies in the blood, which are associated with allergic reactions. It is often ordered when allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma or food allergies are suspected.
