Does Focalin Show Up As Amphetamine On A Urine Sample Test?
Question: does focalin show up as an amphetamine on a urine sample, nor a drug sample, a sample to see if I have UTI
Brief Answer:
would not be seen in this type of test
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Urine analysis to check for urinary tract infections does not check for any medications.
It looks for the following: (1)nitrites (chemical produced in infection),
(2) leukocytes (white blood cells that respond to infection)
(3)red blood cells
(4)protein in the urine
(5)general information such as the specific gravity (concentration of the urine), sugar, ketones (made in the body if not enough fluids are being taken or if person on low carb diet)
Specific drug detecting blood tests would have to be done to pick up any drugs.
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions
