Requisition Forms


Clinicians can use our requisition form to order our breath tests for their patients. All breath collection kits can be shipped directly to your patients with the exception of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) containing Lactulose. SIBO with Lactulose can be delivered to the street address on the license of a licensed prescriber. A "one-time" Rx form must be completed and approved by the manufacturer in advance of any kits shipped to a prescriber for distribution to a patient. Alternative options for SIBO breath collection kits include ordering a SIBO with Glucose or a SIBO with Lactulose instructions but contains no Lactulose. A SIBO with Lactulose instructions can be shipped directly to patients and the prescriber can provide a prescription to the patient for Lactulose 10g in 15mL solution that can be picked up at the patient's local pharmacy. Aerodiagnostics,LLC test requisitions can be customized to simplify and streamline the ordering process. There is no need to stock breath collection kits in your office.
