I don't want to get the wrong one. We use E-med. They are recommended as one of the at-home tests on the NCL Sailsafe site. Last time I looked they were $69.00 for 2, and $150.00 for 6. Plus shipping. Don't know if you can buy them at your local pharmacy. They are not available in stores where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
