There are no interactions with Creatine and PrEP meaning they are safe to take together.
Important to note:
- Taking Creatine can falsely elevate some kidney function results.
- It is advised to discontinue use of any creatine and/or protein supplements for 3-5 days prior to completing Freddie lab work.
If you are taking Creatine:
- Please notify your Freddie care team so we can make note of this on your file.
If you have further questions or concerns related to your specific health needs, we recommend booking an appointment with a Freddie clinician to discuss further.
Why is kidney function testing included on my Freddie lab requisition?
PrEP is processed through your kidneys, so we check kidney function (creatinine and eGFR) to make sure your kidneys are healthy and can handle the medication safely.
