It is essential to inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, or over-the-counter drugs you are taking before undergoing a CRP test. Most medications won’t interfere with the test, but some may influence CRP levels. For example, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and statins can reduce CRP levels, potentially masking the severity of inflammation. Conversely, certain treatments for infections or inflammatory conditions might temporarily elevate CRP levels. Your doctor will advise whether to pause specific medications or adjust dosages before the test. If you’re undergoing treatment for chronic conditions like arthritis, your doctor may interpret the CRP results in the context of your current therapy. Always follow your healthcare provider’s guidance on medication use to ensure accurate and meaningful results. Avoid self-adjusting or stopping medications without professional consultation.
