Overview
Otc
Uses & Benefits
Home urine pregnancy test for early detection of pregnancy by detecting hCG in urine; to confirm suspected pregnancy after a missed period
How It Works
The kit is a lateral-flow immunoassay that detects hCG hormone in urine. If hCG is present above the test’s detection threshold, it binds to antibodies and produces a colored test line along with a control line.
Directions for Use
For in-vitro diagnostic use only. Use first-morning urine if testing early. Collect urine in a clean, dry container and dip the strip up to the marked line (or use as per pack instructions). Keep flat and read results within the time window mentioned on the pack (typically a few minutes). Two lines = pregnant, one control line = not pregnant, no control line = invalid; repeat with a new test if invalid.
Side Effects
No known side effects (non-invasive urine test)
Warnings & Precautions
Read instructions carefully and check expiry before use. Do not use if pouch is torn/damaged. Use a clean container; avoid contaminating the test area. Testing too early, diluted urine, or incorrect timing can cause false negatives; repeat after 48 hours or consult a doctor if unsure. Certain conditions/medicines containing hCG (e.g., fertility treatments) and some medical conditions may cause false positives. Not for internal use. Keep out of reach of children.
Drug Interactions
Fertility medicines containing hCG may affect results; other medicines generally do not interfere.
