Saliva Multi Drug Screen Test
DescriptionSaliva has recently been established as a drug diagnostic tool. The only downside with the saliva test is it will only detetect drugs for about 3 days after suspected drug usage of a first time or casual user whereas the urine test is good for over a week. Tests for opiates/morphine (such as heroin), marijuana, cocaine/crack, meth-
amphetamine & benzo and gives results in 15 minutes. Perfect test in "for cause" and "reasonable suspicion" situations.
By saliva drug testing, one can obtain similar information on the status of a person as one can obtain from whole blood, without the need to collect a specimen invasively. Saliva had long been regarded as one of the prodigal children of biological specimens. However, for the past two decades, there has been a steadily increasing interest in the use of saliva in pharmacokinetic studies of drugs in general and in therapeutic drug monitoring in a variety of clinical situations.
In more recent years this interest has extended to the measurement of drugs of abuse and alcohol in saliva. The advantages of saliva as the specimen of choice have been identified by psychiatrists studying methadone treatment, investigators involved in therapy for HIV-infected patients and in anticonvulsant treatment for epileptics, and by laboratory directors involved in drug abuse monitoring.
Among the advantages cited are the following:
Patients are spared the discomfort of repeated vein punctures.
No risk of anemia, infection, or thrombosis.
No special staff training for collection, lower total costs.
Repeated monitoring of drug levels leads to more accurate prescriptions and fewer side effects.
