Results in minutes at home
Thyroid is a self-test for detecting Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which, in high levels, signals an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Taking only minutes to produce results, the test can be performed at home in a few simple steps.
The test is designed for the screening for TSH. Symptoms of an underactive thyroid are like other conditions such as low iron. Therefore, it is important to rule in or rule out symptoms. Consult a doctor if you obtain a positive result or if after receiving a negative result symptoms continue or you have any concerns about your health.
All components are provided to use the test. Clear instructions guide you through the testing process.
This thyroid home test is manufactured under internationally recognised quality management system, ISO 13485..

About Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is the term given to an underactive thyroid gland that is not producing enough hormones to aid metabolism: the chemical reactions that help to convert food into energy.
Testing for higher-than-normal levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone) is way to determine if your thyroid gland is underactive. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to induce the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. An untreated underactive thyroid can lead to heart problems, abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland, or pregnancy complications. In rare cases, a very underactive thyroid may lead to myxoedema coma, a potentially life-threatening condition.
Symptoms and those at risk
Common symptoms:
Fatigue, irregular or heavy periods, tiredness, constipation, weight gain, feeling depressed, poor memory, and concentration.
People most at risk of developing Hypothyroidism:
Anyone can develop hypothyroidism; however, those most at risk include women, over 60s, people with a family history of thyroid disease, people with an autoimmune disease, had radioactive iodine therapy or anti-thyroid medications, had thyroid surgery, pregnant women or have delivered a baby within the past six months.
Frequently asked questions
Why test for Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)?
Testing for higher-than-normal levels of thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH is considered to be a good way of initially testing for hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland). An untreated underactive thyroid can lead to heart problems, abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland, or pregnancy complications, plus other complications.
When should I test?
If you are experiencing any other common symptoms for an underactive thyroid, use this TSH test. See symptoms and those at risk section below. The TSH test can be used at any time of the day. It is recommended you use the test as a screening tool.
Interpreting results
If you get a test (T) and control (C) line this means TSH is higher than normal. A test (T) line of any colour and intensity is considered a positive. A (C) line on its own is negative. If the result is negative, it means that the TSH level is within the normal range. A case of Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), though rare, cannot be excluded based on such test results.
Always consult a doctor following a positive result or if you have concerns relating to Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism.
