What it measures
- Amphetamine — The parent drug; its presence suggests recent use.
- Methamphetamine — A closely related stimulant that may be detected separately.
- MDMA (Ecstasy) — Sometimes included because it can cross-react with amphetamine tests.
- Prescription stimulants — Drugs like Adderall or Ritalin may trigger a positive screen.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell the provider about any prescription or over-the-counter medicines you take, as some can affect results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as positive (detected) or negative (not detected), sometimes with a level. A positive screen does not confirm a diagnosis; a clinician interprets it alongside your history and may order a more specific confirmatory test. This is general information, not medical advice.
