Superdrug unveils its new fertility test service

Superdrug has unveiled its new fertility test service to help women to easily access information about their own fertility and enables them to take greater control of their reproductive health.

The service comprises a Superdrug online doctor consultation and personalized fertility test recommendations to help women make more informed decisions about the options available to them.


Superdrug’s fertility test initial consultation requires customers to fill out a quick online questionnaire. This is then reviewed by Superdrug’s team of online doctors, who will work with the patients to identify which fertility tests are best suited to the individual. The new service also sees Superdrug introduce three new fertility blood tests to its portfolio, ensuring greater choice and accessibility.

Dr Sara Kayat, Superdrug’s medical ambassador comments, “For women that have been trying to get pregnant and not succeeding, or for those who are just curious about their fertility, easy access to blood tests may help provide answers and signpost them in the right direction.”

Caris Newson, Head of Healthcare Services at Superdrug adds, “At Superdrug, we are passionate about helping people make the right health choices for them and fertility is no different. We want to make it as convenient as possible for people to get professional advice and support when it comes to their fertility. Our new service will allow women to take control of their health and have a better, more informed understanding of their fertility.”
