When ordering therapeutic phlebotomy you'll be asked to specify volume drawn (500mL is the default), weekly/biweekly/monthly draws, for a 12 month period. After 12 months a new prescription is required. According to an org specializing in blood iron disorders, the hemoglobin cutoff below which you should not draw is 12.5. The normal HGB range is 12-16 ish.

GENETIC TESTING COULD PREVENT ADVERSE DRUG EFFECTS
more than 50% of pts have variations in 8-10 liver enzymes that affect drug metabolism
Mayo Clinic psychiatry and psychology dept has used genetic testing x2yrs
other clinics and departments are catching on
varying enzyme levels affect how long drug stays in system, how much it builds up with dosing
or how much levels dip between doses
pts who are unresponsive to their meds, or have bad reactions to meds, will be interested in this
