I'm a healthy male in his early 20s. Healthy BMI.
There is a clinical study available that offers a reasonable compensation for a safe drug. However, a total of 20 blood samples need to be taken. I'd like to know how safe this is? One time I got two blood tests done 1 week apart (both on the inner left elbow), and it seemed like it took a month before the spots didn't felt painful at all, hence my concern.
Also, do clinical trials take blood sample from the same spot (e.g. the elbow) or they usually switch them up? I'll call to ask of course, but if anybody has experience/info please let me know.
By the way, if this is the wrong section of the forum, feel free to move this thread to a more appropriate section.
