Amphetamine is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which has a high potential for abuse but also has accepted medical uses. It is legally available with a doctor’s prescription for conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
Amphetamines are a class of potent sympathomimetic agents with therapeutic applications. They are chemically related to the human body’s natural catecholamines: epinephrine and norepinephrine. Acute higher doses lead to enhanced stimulation of the central nervous system and induce euphoria, alertness, reduced appetite, and a sense of increased energy and power. Cardiovascular responses to Amphetamines include increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. More acute responses produce anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, and psychotic behavior.
The effects of Amphetamines generally last 2-4 hours following use, and the drug has a half-life of 4-24 hours in the body. About 30% of Amphetamines are excreted in the urine in unchanged form, with the remainder as hydroxylated and deaminated derivatives. The detection window for Amphetamine in human urine depends on several factors, including dosage, frequency of use, metabolism, and the sensitivity of the drug test.
The Amphetamine (AMP) Drug Test Kit is a rapid urine screening test that can be easily performed without the use of an instrument and delivers fast, accurate visual results within 5 minutes. The test is a lateral flow immunoassay utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Amphetamine in urine. The test kits are widely used in various settings, including workplaces, law enforcement, healthcare, and home use.
