what are medical conditions that make you unable to donate blood
If you have an acute infection should not donate blood. When taking medication for an infection, you may be temporarily unable to donate. If you are currently taking medication please call to talk to one of our trained health professionals at 1 888 2 DONATE (1 888 236-6283).
Weâll take your blood pressure at the time of donation. You cannot donate if your systolic pressure is below 90 mm Hg or above 180 mm Hg, or if your diastolic pressure is below 50 mm Hg or above 100 mm Hg. (âHgâ is a measurement of pressure in terms of millimetres of mercury.) This one can be complicatedâso call us!
