What is Ketostix used for?
Ketostix is a product that is used for ketone detection. You can easy find the detailed information about it online. Personally I use a Canadian Pharmacy site in order to read the description of various medications.
Acetoacetic acid can be found in the urine from diabetics and is more commonly referred to as a “ketone body.” Use of KETOSTIX Reagent Strips can alert you and your doctor or diabetes educator to changes in your condition for which adjustments in your diet and/or medication may be needed. Carefully follow the testing schedule your doctor or educator establishes. The strips provide a fast, convenient way of testing urine for the presence and concentration of acetoacetic acid (ketone). This substance when found in the urine provides information on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. As with all laboratory tests, definitive diagnostic or therapeutic decisions should not be based on any single result or method. KETOSTIX results should never be used as the sole basis for adjusting insulin dosage.
