Clinical Interest
Monitoring drug intake in urine for therapeutic purposes is important to ensure compliance with prescribed treatments, particularly in detoxification programmes, as well as to check that there is no diversion of the drug for illicit purposes. As drugs have different half-lives, detection windows vary from one substance to another.
