If you drink black coffee, with no additives, you can still have fasting labs done. However, coffee will increase your blood pressure and affect some tests .... especially a CRP. Your paying for these tests. I would recommend no coffee 10-12 hours prior if your not sure. The best method is to call the laboratory.
Water is allowed even when fasting. Usually your regular dose of medication can be taken, although some medicines do affect test results, so check with your physician first. Black coffee or tea may be allowed, but again, check with the laboratory or your physician, because caffeine can alter some test results.
