Barbiturates Screen Urine
Barbiturates Screen Urine
The barbiturate class of drugs are traditionally classified as sedatives and central nervous system depressants. Their principle uses are to calm the patient, produce drowsiness, and/or promote sleep. The test is a screening assay using a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay method of analysis. Therapeutic urine drug monitoring of the barbiturates is important for ensuring compliance to treatment strategies, as well as ensuring non-diversion for illicit purposes.
