Is It Possible To Identify Synthetic Urine?
Question: Does Synthetic urine work as a substitute for real urine? Can a doctor tell its synthetic as long as temp is right. Thanks XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
It depends on the lab used and what drug screen test they are using.
Detailed Answer:
Urine drug screens have become more sophisticated because of dealing with the possibility of synthetic urine. Labs know about synthetic urine and some have ways of testing for it. And tests for it are evolving constantly.
So whether it is detected as synthetic probably depends on the synthetic urine used and the sophistication of the test used.
Best bet is to try to be clean of unprescribed drugs for as long as possible prior to your test.
I hope this information helps.

not very sophisticated i DONT THINK.jUST TEST DOCTOR HAS TO PUT IN MY RECORDS
Brief Answer:
I think this would be risky.
Detailed Answer:
If you've been using illicit drugs and have some sort of contract with your doctor about not using, wouldn't it be best to discuss the situation with him or her? It would be risky and illegal to use the synthetic urine and I can't say whether it would even work or not. Sorry, this is probably not what you were hoping to hear.
