Chemists' Own Procheck Urinary Tract Infection Rapid Test

Chemists' Own Procheck Urinary Tract Infection Rapid Test provides a fast, convenient way to check for signs of a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) from home. Using a simple dip-and-read test strip, it screens for key indicators commonly associated with UTIs, helping users decide whether they may need further medical attention or treatment.

This test detects the presence of nitrites and leukocytes in urine—two markers that often rise when bacteria are present in the urinary tract. Test results appear quickly, allowing users to gain clarity without waiting for a clinic appointment. The included colour chart helps interpret results with ease, offering guidance on whether abnormalities are present.

Ideal for individuals who experience recurrent UTIs, discomfort, burning during urination, urgency, or lower abdominal discomfort, this at-home test offers reassurance and proactive monitoring. It is a useful screening tool that supports timely decision-making, particularly for those wanting to assess symptoms before visiting a healthcare professional.
