Stool tests

[matty]

Can you take stool test for parasites while on Pentasa and entocort. Thanks

I don't see any reason why not. They should not alter the test results.

I believe NGNG is correct, I don't believe those medications would affect stool tests for parasites. I recently had to do some stool tests to look for various bacteria, and I was able to continue taking my Delzicol (similar to Pentasa) while I produced those stool samples. Not quite the same thing, but I've never heard of parasites being affected by Entocort or Pentasa, so you should be fine.
