Cholesterol Blood Test

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is found in the blood. Although the body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, having too much of it can increase the risk of heart disease. This is why it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly through a cholesterol blood test.

At our pharmacy in the UK, we offer a cholesterol blood test service to help you keep track of your cholesterol levels. Our trained pharmacists can perform a simple finger prick test to measure your cholesterol levels and provide you with advice on how to manage them if necessary.

To prepare for the test, it is recommended that you fast for at least 12 hours beforehand and avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours prior to the test. You should also inform your pharmacist if you are taking any medications or have any medical conditions that may affect your cholesterol levels.

Once the test is complete, your pharmacist will provide you with a report on your cholesterol levels and explain what the results mean. If your cholesterol levels are high, your pharmacist may recommend lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, or refer you to your GP for further investigation.

At our pharmacy, we understand the importance of regular cholesterol monitoring and are committed to helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our cholesterol blood test service is quick, easy, and convenient, making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to keep track of their cholesterol levels.
