The Covid 19 pandemic taught us all how to test ourselves and our children for the dreaded virus in these past two years and how to read the results. The process was simple and quick and enabled us manage the disease and limits its effects.
There are many other illnesses that can be diagnosed quickly and effectively using similar LFT test kits, and this range is now available in Ireland.
LFT stands for ’lateral flow test’ and it means a fluid passing by an enzyme system which will detect the presence or absence of a marker compound that is present in any given disease.
This is represented by a test line and a control line in each of the tests, and the presence of a control line indicates the presence of the marker compound in the sample used, or in other words, we test positive.
FIRST SIGN LFT is a range of new, accurate tests which can be performed at home, and can provide results in around 10 minutes.
• They are all evaluated and confirmed by the EU Commission and bear the CE mark.
• They all cost less than €20.00, so a big saving on the conventional method testing.
Windzor Pharma is pleased to bring 10 new tests, for a wide range of conditions, to pharmacies and patients.
Now, instead of the long and expensive process of getting to your doctor, giving a blood or urine sample and waiting perhaps 3 weeks for the result, you can take the test yourself, similar to Covid test, and find out sooner what’s going on.
All of these test kits are available at your local pharmacy, who can advise you on what to do next, depending on the test result.
So, take control of your own health care and look out for First Sign test kits.
