TESTS WE OFFER
-
Blood Pressure Test | R20
Monitoring your blood pressure is vital in maintaining cardiovascular health. This quick, non-invasive test measures the force of your blood against your artery walls, helping to identify potential risks like hypertension (the "silent killer"). Regular checks are good for the early detection and prevention of heart disease and stroke.
-
Glucose Test | R25
This simple finger-prick test measures the concentration of sugar (glucose) in your blood. It is a critical screening tool for identifying pre-diabetes or managing existing diabetes. Keeping your glucose levels within a healthy range helps prevent long-term complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and vision.
-
Cholesterol Test | R65
Our cholesterol screening provides insight into the fat levels in your blood. High cholesterol often has no symptoms but can lead to a buildup of plaque in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart attacks. This test helps you and your pharmacist determine if lifestyle changes or further medical consultations are necessary.
-
Iron Test | R40
An iron screening checks for iron deficiency, which is a common cause of fatigue, dizziness, and anaemia. By measuring your levels, we can help determine if your diet is providing enough iron or if supplementation is required to boost your energy levels and overall vitality.
-
Free Weighing
Managing a healthy weight is foundational to overall wellness. We provide a professional weighing service at no cost to help you track your progress, whether you are managing a chronic condition, following a fitness plan, or simply staying mindful of your health goals.
Important Note:
These screenings are for informational purposes and provide a snapshot of your current health status. For a formal diagnosis or long-term treatment plan, please consult with your healthcare provider.
