Iron Deficiency (Ferritin) Self Test Home Kit

Supply

Prescription items are supplied only against a valid, patient-specific prescription.

Description

Iron Deficiency Test for early screening of Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA). The test is used to check your blood iron stores which works by testing a finger prick blood sample to check the ferritin level.

Symptoms

Iron is used to make haemoglobin which is found in red blood cells. Haemoglobin is important for carrying oxygen around the body. If you don't have enough haemoglobin then your body is not going to get the oxygen it requires to function at its best. This low level of haemoglobin/red blood cells is called anaemia.
Iron is also important for the healthy growth of hair, skin and nails.

If you are iron deficient, then you can experience a wide variety of symptoms. These include:

  • Tiredness
  • Becoming fatigued quickly during exercise.
  • Looking pale
  • Memory problems
  • Brittle hair and nails
  • Poor concentration
  • Getting out of breath quicker than normal
  • Slow wound healing
Prescription supply

Prescription-only medicines (POM) are always dispensed against a valid, patient-specific prescription and are never available as clinic stock, under any circumstances.

Where a product genuinely supports both routes, you choose whether you are ordering that item on prescription for a named patient or as clinic stock under your professional responsibility when you select it on the product page.

Named-patient prescription supply. Items chosen for a named patient are dispensed against your prescription. The order is held for Superintendent Pharmacist review before despatch. Prescription supply is zero-rated for VAT.

Clinic stock supply. Where eligible, items chosen as clinic stock are supplied under your professional responsibility for use in your practice. Standard VAT applies at checkout. This route is never offered for prescription-only medicines.

Orders containing prescription-only medicines are held until the Superintendent Pharmacist has cleared the prescription. Same-day dispatch applies once cleared.

For questions about prescription supply, contact admin@longevapharma.com or reply to your order confirmation email.

Delivery & Returns

Delivery: Dispatch and delivery depend on stock, cleared payment, customer eligibility and any required prescription or pharmacy checks. Delivery estimates are not guarantees. See our Shipping and Delivery Policy.

Returns: Because storage history, product integrity, traceability and chain of custody cannot be verified after regulated healthcare goods leave our control, medicines, cold-chain goods, sterile products, injectables and other regulated products cannot normally be returned after dispatch. This does not affect remedies for goods supplied incorrectly, damaged or defective. See our Returns and Refunds Policy.

Cold chain: Temperature-sensitive products must be received promptly and transferred to the required storage conditions. If damage or a suspected temperature excursion is identified, quarantine the goods, retain all packaging and contact Longeva Pharma before use.
