The memory of the self-test for the detection of the Covid-19 virus is now far gone… this Wednesday, November 27, it returns to pharmacies, but not alone!
The French pharmaceutical group AAZ actually put on sale a triple self-test for Covid, flu and bronchiolitis. Good timing when the bronchiolitis epidemic has already started, the flu epidemic is arriving and the risk of a return of Covid during the winter has not been ruled out.
Titled “All in triplex”this self-test is presented as easy to use, less unpleasant than a Covid self-test and can be carried out from a very young agefrom 1 month.
The tube includes a small sponge which must be inserted into the nostril, less deeply than a nasopharyngeal self-test against Covid. Fifteen minutes laterit is possible to see displayed three strips of different colorscorresponding to the three different viruses.
In the columns of Parisianthe manufacturer used to”reliability close to 100%“. The High Authority for Health, more cautious, will launch a national survey on the subject during the winter of 2025-2026.
For now, 15,000 doses of this combined self-test have been sent in pharmacies for sale starting this Wednesday, November 27. The price is free, but the AAZ group recommends pricing around ten euros.
