Pregnancy Testing

Pregnancy testing is an important part of Ross pharmacy services. The emphasis placed on this service derives from the fact that women who have missed or have unusual period and experience breast tenderness, nausea or frequent urination in spite of their intentions toward pregnancy would like to know as soon as possible their exact condition. Hence Ross pharmacy is interested to offer pregnancy tests which are both fast and accurate (greater than 99%).  The nature of pregnancy tests being based on detection of the presence of the hormone H.C.G. (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) provides possibility for administrating them either in the pharmacy or at home according to the patient’s convenience.

Ross pharmacy offers pregnancy test which may be taken in the pharmacy providing all the necessary conditions for best possible administration and results as well as offers various home based pregnancy tests. The quality of pregnancy tests is defined on the bases of their sensitivity to detect the presence of the hormone H.C.G. (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin). Hence higher the sensitivity of the test higher is the accuracy in detecting H.C.G.  Since the concentrations of H.C.G. are measured in milliInternational Units (mIU) a test with a sensitivity of 20 IU/L is more sensitive than one with 50 IU/L which is also reflected by their price. Ross pharmacy offers pregnancy tests with various sensitivity levels to meet the needs of all customers. To check availability or arrange your pregnancy test please call 01923 821596.
