Amphetamines Screen Urine
About Test
The amphetamine class of drugs are traditionally classified as stimulants. Some members of the class (amphetamine) are prescribed for treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), to suppress appetite, and for narcolepsy. Other members of the class are considered drugs of abuse (methamphetamine, MDMA) with no accepted medical uses. The test is a screening test using a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay method of analysis. Therapeutic urine drug monitoring of the amphetamines and their metabolites is important for ensuring compliance to treatment strategies, as well as ensuring non-diversion for illicit purposes.
