One Touch Ultra Test Strips Blue

How is this medication used?

Insert a test strip into the test strip port of a compatible One Touch Ultra meter. Make sure the meter is turned on. Use a lancing device to prick the side of your fingertip to get a drop of blood. Touch the end of the test strip to the blood drop and wait for the meter to display your blood glucose level. The test typically takes a few seconds.

What are the possible side effects?

As One Touch Ultra Test Strips Blue are used externally to test blood glucose levels, they do not have direct side effects. However, repeated pricking of the fingertips or other sites for blood sampling can lead to soreness, infection, or bruising at the puncture site.

What are the potential interactions?

There are no direct interactions between One Touch Ultra Test Strips and medications because the strips are not ingested or applied internally. However, factors such as dehydration, excessive moisture, and dirt can interfere with the accuracy of the blood glucose readings. Certain conditions, like severe dehydration or shock, may also affect the performance of the test strips.
