I take multiple prescription medications. Do they affect my results?

Common prescription medications — including antihypertensives, statins, antidepressants, diabetes medications (metformin, GLP-1 agonists), thyroid medications, proton pump inhibitors, and most antibiotics — are not expected to significantly affect miRNA levels measured by OncuraKit. Medications that specifically alter miRNA expression include chemotherapy agents (contraindicated), hormonal therapies (estrogen, testosterone — contraindicated), high-dose corticosteroids (may affect miR-21 through inflammatory pathways), and antiretrovirals for HIV (some studies suggest modest miRNA effects). If you take a medication not on these lists, you can generally proceed with OncuraKit. If you are unsure about a specific medication, consult your prescribing physician before testing.
