Indication/Uses:

Pregnancy Test (Advan) Sachets are used for detecting pregnancy through a simple and convenient test. Here are the primary indications and uses:

Indications and Uses

1. Pregnancy Detection:
   • Early Pregnancy Detection: Used to determine whether a woman is pregnant by detecting the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is produced by the placenta shortly after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
   • Home Use: Designed for use at home to provide a quick and private method for confirming pregnancy.

How It Works

• Hormone Detection: The test detects the presence of hCG, which is only present in the urine of pregnant women. When urine is applied to the test, it interacts with a reagent on the test strip that produces a color change if hCG is present.

Dosage and Administration

• Usage Instructions:
  • Collect urine in a clean, dry container.
  • Dip the test strip into the urine or use a dropper to place a few drops of urine onto the test area, depending on the specific design of the test.
  • Wait for the specified amount of time (usually a few minutes) for the result to appear.
  • Read the result as directed in the instructions provided with the test.

Precautions

• Test Timing: For best results, it is recommended to use the test after a missed menstrual period or at least two weeks after possible conception. Testing too early may result in a false-negative result.
• Test Instructions: Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure accurate results.
• Medication Interference: Some medications may affect the results of the pregnancy test. Consult with a healthcare provider if you are taking medications and are unsure about their impact on the test.

Side Effects

• None: Pregnancy tests typically do not have side effects. However, improper use or reading the results outside the recommended time frame can lead to inaccurate results.

Interpretation of Results

• Positive Result: Usually indicated by two lines or a change in color, showing the presence of hCG in the urine.
• Negative Result: Typically indicated by one line, showing no hCG detected. If menstruation does not occur or symptoms persist, retesting or consulting a healthcare provider is recommended.
• Invalid Result: If no lines or an unexpected result appears, the test may be invalid. Retest with a new device or consult with a healthcare professional.

Pregnancy Test (Advan) Sachets provide a convenient and effective method for early pregnancy detection. Proper usage and interpretation are essential for obtaining accurate results.
