Shop Drug & Alcohol Test Kits online
Home drug and alcohol test kits are used for a variety of personal purposes, including personal awareness, household use, or workplace screening contexts where appropriate. Blooms The Chemist stocks drug test kits in both urine and saliva formats from brands such as Touch Bio for detecting a range of substances including street drugs, prescription drugs and cannabis.
Test kits are available in single-test and multi-test packs. Formats include urine-based kits that screen for street drugs, prescription drugs or marijuana specifically, as well as saliva-based marijuana test kits for a less invasive testing option. For alcohol testing, portable alcohol breathalyser tests are available for a quick indicative result. For diagnostic testing more broadly, explore our diagnostic testing category.
Urine vs saliva drug tests
- Urine tests: Generally detect substances for a longer window after use (days to weeks depending on the substance). More commonly used for pre-employment or workplace screening purposes.
- Saliva tests: Detect recent drug use and are less invasive. Results are typically available within minutes, and the test is easy to administer.
The right format will depend on your specific use case. A Blooms The Chemist pharmacist can help you select the appropriate test.
Using drug test kits safely and responsibly
Home drug and alcohol test kits provide indicative results only and are not a substitute for laboratory-confirmed testing. A positive result should always be followed up with confirmation testing through an accredited laboratory before any formal action is taken.
Always read the instructions included with your test kit carefully, including collection instructions and result interpretation. Store kits according to the packaging guidelines, as temperature and humidity can affect accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you buy drug test kits at a pharmacy in Australia?
Yes. Drug test kits are available from Blooms The Chemist in-store and online. Some items may require pharmacist consultation before supply. A pharmacist is available to help you select the most appropriate product for your needs.
How accurate are home drug test kits?
Home drug tests provide indicative results and can be affected by a range of factors including timing of use, hydration, certain medications and test kit storage. They should not be relied upon as a definitive test result. For confirmed results, laboratory analysis is recommended.
