Description
Overview of the medicine

How to Take
Insert the test strip into the meter. Prick fingertip with a lancing device to get a blood drop. Apply the blood drop to the designated area of the test strip. Wait for the meter to display the result.
Mechanism of Action
The test strip contains an electrochemical sensor that reacts with glucose in the blood sample. When blood is applied, glucose oxidase in the strip converts glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide then reacts with a mediator, generating an electrical current proportional to the glucose concentration, which the meter reads and displays.
