Cholesterol Test
Check your heart health with a fast, in-store cholesterol screening.
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood. While your body needs some cholesterol to function, having too much — particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or “bad” cholesterol — can raise your risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular cholesterol testing can help you better understand your cardiovascular health and take proactive steps if needed.
At McCauley Pharmacy, we offer a quick cholesterol test using a simple finger-prick blood sample. Your results are available within minutes and explained clearly by a member of our pharmacy team.
You’ll also receive a record of your result to take with you for your own health tracking or to share with your GP.
Price: €30
Availability: Available by appointment in participating McCauley Pharmacies
