Today's question will be rather more staid and run-of-the-mill, however it may require a little detective work to find the right answer. Equally though, you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting it right without doing the legwork! But if you get it wrong, you'll look kind of foolish right? Hmm... tricksy.
Pituitary Awareness Quiz
Day 8, Question 8
Q.8: I'm currently receiving monthly lanreotide injections. These are somatostatin analogues - hormone injections - which counteract the effect of my pituitary adenoma producing too much thyroid hormone.
Assuming this is the only medication I'm taking, and assuming I live in England... am I allowed to donate blood?
a) Yes
b) No
Hmm, I think yes because lanreotide is synthetic, and not "human pituitary extract".
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't resist a quiz! :S
b) No
