If modifications to my medications have been made, when should I have another set of blood tests done to see if there have been changes that may affect my health?
How often should I have blood tests?

Hello. Generally the health care professional perscribes the time between blood tests for reasons to check your progress or lack thereof of any treatment he has started you on
I get a blood test before every visit (3 or 4 times a year) because I'm a diabetic and he needs to constantly keep a close eye on my glucose (sugar) levels. This is just one (my experience) example. There are many other reasons and you can simply ask.

Hey massso. I'm just dandy! How about you? I see most all your posts so I most always give you a thumbs-up on them, in case you're wondering. I do the same for another mutual friend on here.
Wherever I think my "two-cents" will be beneficial..I will add it. Lol. Never compromised (can't think of the right word. Brain freez) your answers.
Time is flying by. It'll be winter soon!
Have a nice summer.

If your Dr. modifies the medications you are taking prescribed by him/her, it is your Dr., according to the medications you are prescribed to determine how often you must have blood work done and perhaps other tests/exams/procedures... etc..
