Modern combination tests, available in pharmacies, enable the differentiation of several viral infections from a single nasal swab, most commonly influenza A and B, COVID-19, and RSV. Results are available within minutes and can help guide your next steps – such as limiting contact with others, working from home, or consulting a healthcare professional.

One of the key advantages of at-home tests is their ease of use and speed. Test kits typically include everything needed to perform the test: a test cassette, a sterile nasal swab, a tube with solution for sample processing, and clear instructions for use. No special equipment or medical training is required.

While at-home testing does not replace a medical examination, it provides important preliminary information in the early stages of illness. However, these tests may not detect all infections or may yield false negatives or positives. In the case of a positive result or worsening symptoms, it is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional. Tests should always be used in accordance with the instructions and safety guidelines.

Take charge of your health today: use at-home flu tests to get quick answers and protect both yourself and those around you.
