I saw this kit at the Medicard FB page and because I have never seen anything like it before it caught my attention.
Ms. Kate Cruz Joaquin, Medicard Philippines Marketing Manager, sent a sample of the kit for me to try and blog about.
What is EZ Detect?
EZ Detect is used to know and detect hidden blood in the stool which is an early warning sign of colon disease. It is advisable to use the kit especially if you are 40 years old and older because if Colon Cancer is caught early, the chances for a cure is high, more than 90%.
Well, I am not yet in my 40’s but I believe in the saying that ‘Prevention is better than cure” so as early as now, it’s better to be aware of the things happening in our body.
The kit consists of 5 pieces of detector pads. It is advisable to test your stool for at least 3 times to make sure that you are clear.
I have tried the 1st pad last March 7, and I am glad that it’s Negative. I will try it again this week, and I hope that the paper will still be clear.
I find it easy to use (an instruction manual is included inside the kit)
- STEP 1 – After a bowel movement, all you have to do is drop the test pad into the toilet bowl
- STEP 2 – Observe the test pad. According to the manual, if blood is present, a blue color will appear within 2 minutes.
In observance of the Colon Cancer Awareness month, MediCard, a leading health maintenance organization in the Philippines has sponsored 50% of the total cost of this kit. EZ Detect costs more than P400, if you will purchase it at any Medicard center nationwide you will only have to pay P200 for each kit.

I want to try this too! I think I’m prone to colon diseases kasi.
That’s a really convenient testing kit! I’d probably get one for myself.
Early detection is always the best cure. It’s good that there’s a detection kit like that.
I hope they make these kits available at your local drugstores too.
This is another addition to my suggestions to my relatives who are concerned about their colon (bowel movement problems). PHp 200 is considerably reasonable. I hope this gets to Mercury Drug branches soon.
nice that medical innovation like this exist and now easy for everyone to test if there is the occurence of blood in their stool …..great job!
P200 for a kit is not bad. I am over 40, just what I need to detect colon disease.
This is a good tool to detect the colon cancer at its early stage and less expensive too.
Do I need to be a Medicard member to be able to purchase the kit from their clinics?
I will ask Medicard about your question. Thanks!
medicard is really a number one center for maintaining your good health.
Detecting any abnormality in our stool as early as possible will definitely save us from colon cancer. this kit is a must-have.
This is really helpful; my mom was cured from cancer because it was detected earlier. I would love to grab some for me, my mom, Lola and aunt too. Thank you for sharing.
Very helpful kot. sana maging available na rin sa local drugstores.
sana nga, para mas madaming maka avail
This is a great way to self-check than going thru all the scans/test, especially that most of us usually does not observe a healthy meal.
