Toxicology Testing
Medication Monitoring as it should be.
Supreme Toxicology Testing
Medication monitoring results can help a clinician assess whether a patient is taking the prescribed medication or if a patient is taking other drugs (prescribed or illicit) that the clinician is not aware of.
A clinician conducting medication monitoring not only wants to look at the results to help him or her assess whether the patient is taking the prescribed drug, but also wants to see if the patient is taking medications that the prescriber does not know about.
Studies suggest that clinicians have a difficult time assessing if their pain patients are using their pain medications as prescribed or misusing, abusing or diverting their medications.
"The use of prescription pain relievers for nonmedical purposes is now the second most common form of drug abuse.”
