Can I take a nucleic acid test after drinking Kangfuxin Liquid?

Generally, it is acceptable to undergo nucleic acid testing after taking Kangfuxin Liquid, as there is no clear interaction between the two. However, it is recommended to wait 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the medication before undergoing the test to avoid any potential interference. The detailed analysis is as follows:

Nucleic acid testing primarily involves collecting respiratory specimens to detect the presence of viral nucleic acids by identifying specific viral gene sequences. Kangfuxin Liquid mainly contains amino acids, polyols, and other nutritional components. It does not contain ingredients that could degrade viral nucleic acids or interfere with testing reagents. Therefore, normal use typically does not affect the accuracy of test results or cause adverse reactions during the testing process.

After taking Kangfuxin Liquid, some individuals may have a small amount of liquid residue in the throat. Although this does not directly impact the test, to prevent excessive dilution of the specimen by medication residue, it is advisable to wait for a period of time after taking the medicine or rinse the mouth with water before testing.

Prior to nucleic acid testing, individuals should inform healthcare providers about recent medication use so that they can make better-informed assessments. Regularly taking Kangfuxin Liquid as prescribed, maintaining personal protective measures, and cooperating with nucleic acid testing not only ensures smooth testing procedures but also helps monitor one's health status effectively.
