what does the 200-300 limit on amphatimines mean on your lab report? I am trying to see if my lab tests would say positive if I am taking Primidone, but where or what kind of test would'show it's quantity
Brief Answer:
urine analysis gives level of drugs in system.
Detailed Answer:
welcome back,
200-300 limit means that, if level of amphetamines is above 200 to 300, there is clear abuse of prescribed drug, in other words it indicates that someone has consumed more drug than was prescribed because when a person is prescribed certain dosage, body weight would have been considered and levels of that drug would not exceed certain limit.
urine analysis will confirm the levels of drugs in your system as barbiturates are metabolized and excreted through kidneys.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Revert back to me if you have follow up queries.
