FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long do drugs stay detectable in urine?
Detection times vary widely depending on the drug, how much was used, and individual factors like metabolism. Some substances may be detected for a few days, while others can remain detectable for weeks. The lab's cutoff levels also affect results.
Can prescription medications cause a positive result?
Yes, some prescription drugs can cross-react with certain panel components, such as benzodiazepines or opioids. It is important to inform the lab or your clinician about any medications you are taking so results can be interpreted correctly.
What happens if a result is positive?
A positive screening result is often followed by a more specific confirmation test to rule out false positives. Your clinician will discuss what the result means for you and whether any further testing is needed.
Is this test accurate for all drugs?
No test is perfect, and accuracy depends on the lab's methods and cutoff levels. This panel screens for common drug classes, but it may not detect very recent use or certain synthetic substances. Always discuss any concerns with your clinician.
