About toxicology

It deals with identifying substances, medications, or toxins impacting patients and provides doctors with a way to confirm a diagnosis or optimize therapy. A toxicology test examines your blood, urine, or saliva for drugs or other substances. Medications can be taken orally, breathed, injected, or absorbed through the skin or mucous membrane. A tox screen may check your stomach contents or perspiration in exceptional instances.

A tox screen can check for a single drug or up to 30 distinct substances simultaneously. Prescription medications, over-the-counter medications (such as aspirin), vitamins, supplements, alcohol, and illicit substances such as cocaine and heroin are all examples.

Instead of blood, urine or saliva are frequently used for testing. A urine or saliva sample might reveal a wide range of medications. In addition, urine and saliva tests are typically less difficult to perform than blood testing.
