Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How do I find out what drug my son took after he had a positive urine drug screen with ETH U DET? He says he doesn t know. All I know is it is a psychedelic drug and I m aware of side effects. But I m unable to find information about what drugs this chemical is found in or made up of. Thank you for any help.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Urine drug test can identify certain drugs that are excreted through urine. It tests positive till the time period the drug gets excreted in urine. The urine drug test usually screens for:
i. amphetamines
ii. methamphetamines
iii. benzodiazepines
iv. barbiturates
v. marijuana
vi. cocaine
vii. PCP
viii. methadone
ix. opioids (narcotics) .
Alcohol can also be included in screening tests, but it’s usually detected through breath tests rather than urine screens. A urine drug test can help a doctor detect potential substance abuse problems. After a drug test identifies drugs you may be misusing, doctors can help you start a treatment plan. Taking urine drug tests throughout substance abuse treatment helps to ensure that the plan is working and that you’re no longer taking drugs. If you get a positive result for illegal drugs that you haven’t taken, you should make sure to get a GC/MS follow-up test immediately. You will also want to talk to the medical review officer (MRO). This is the physician in charge of interpreting and reporting the results of any drug testing done in their facility.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
