Description
Why It’s Done:
This test is commonly used for:
• Workplace drug screening
• Pre-employment checks
• Legal or forensic investigations
• Drug rehabilitation monitoring
• Clinical assessment in cases of suspected drug use or overdose
A positive result suggests recent use of cocaine, while a negative result means that no detectable levels of cocaine or its metabolites were found in the urine at the time of testing.
Preparation:
• No special preparation or fasting is required for this test.
• A midstream urine sample is typically collected in a clean container.
• Avoid tampering with or contaminating the sample, as it may lead to invalid or rejected results.
• Inform the testing authority or healthcare provider if you are taking any prescription medications or supplements, though most will not affect the detection of cocaine metabolites
