Pregnancy Testing Kit Price in Pakistan
There are primarily two types of single use pregnancy test kits in Pakistan for home use. They are both urine based tests that work by detecting a small amount of hCG (a type of hormone) and reportedly have up to a 99% accuracy rate (similar to tests based on blood work done in labs).
These tests are available either in the form of strips or in the form of midstream pregnancy test kits in Pakistan.
The pregnancy test strips are significantly cheaper and do not have any significant downside in terms of accuracy. However, they can be a bit messy to use as it will require immersing the strip in your urine to get a result. Typically this means collecting your urine sample in a clean container and then dipping the strip in for about 15 seconds. Then after a few minutes the strip should be ready for checking the results. Directions may vary based on the product you purchase so please be sure to read the instructions given on the pregnancy test strips in Pakistan you purchase.
On the other hand, the midstream pregnancy test kits are easier to use in that there is no need to collect a urine sample. You can simply hold it in the urine stream and once it is thoroughly soaked you can get the results in a minute or so. Again, the exact directions may vary so please be sure to read the instructions given on the packaging.
The downside to midstream pregnancy test kits in Pakistan is of course the price. Otherwise, they are simply more convenient to use.
Typically, it is recommended to begin testing up to 7 days before you expect your period and it is recommended that you test first thing after waking up and to avoid drinking more fluids than usual as that may dilute the concentration of the hCG hormone in your urine.
A ballpark figure for pregnancy test kit prices in Pakistan is around Rs. 50 to Rs. 100 per strip. The lower figure is rounded and based on boxes containing multiples rather than a single strip.
On the other hand, the midstream pregnancy testkits in Pakistan are usually about triple that – ranging from Rs. 250 to Rs. 400. Unfortunately, even local companies have imported the actual products from other countries so the price tends to get higher as our exchange rate falls. Fortunately and very sensibly, the government does not apply GST on pregnancy test kits in Pakistan.
Most online stores and pharmacies have these pregnancy test kits in Pakistan ready to ship with delivery time limited by courier companies than availability of stock so they usually require between 1-4 working days in delivery time depending on your location.
