Side effects
While Accuchek Instant Test Strip itself does not have side effects like medication, improper use or related practices can lead to minor issues:
- Incorrect Readings: Using expired strips, improperly stored strips, or insufficient blood sample can lead to inaccurate results.
- Skin Irritation: Repeated lancing in the same spot can cause minor skin irritation or bruising. Always rotate your finger-prick sites.
