What it measures
- Methaqualone (screen) — A first-pass test that flags whether methaqualone may be present.
- Methaqualone (confirmation) — A more specific follow-up test that verifies a screen result.
- Other sedatives or drugs — Sometimes tested at the same time to give a fuller picture.
Preparation

Frequently asked questions
How long after use can this test detect methaqualone?
Detection windows vary by person, dose, and test method. Ask the lab or your clinician what window applies to your sample.
Can other medicines cause a false positive?
Some substances can interfere with screening tests. That is why a positive screen is usually confirmed with a more specific method.
Is a positive result the same as a diagnosis?
No. A result is one piece of information. A clinician interprets it alongside your symptoms, history, and other tests.
Will I get a copy of my results?
Policies differ by clinic and lab. Ask how and when results will be shared with you.
