The VDRL test is non-specific and can sometimes yield a false positive result. As a result of this, the test should preferably be done in the middle stages of the infection. The reason is that syphilis antibodies are produced only in the middle stages of the infection, and if the test is done before that, it will yield a wrong result. The ideal time to do the VDRL test is between 21 days to 6 weeks.

Due to several factors, the cost of a VDRL test may vary. Nevertheless, the standard price for a VDRL test at PharmEasy in Amritsar typically ranges from INR 129 to INR 440. Consider checking and comparing VDRL test prices in major cities across India.
