What it measures
- Buprenorphine — The parent drug; shows recent use.
- Norbuprenorphine — A breakdown product of buprenorphine; helps confirm real use rather than exposure to a related substance.
- Screen result — A quick first pass that flags whether the drug may be present.
- Confirmation result — A more specific second test that identifies the substance.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually needed. Tell the collector about all medicines and supplements you take, since some can affect the result.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as negative or positive, with confirmation giving a more definite answer than the screen alone. A clinician interprets results alongside your history and medicines. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
