Drug Panel Test In Delhi
Starts from 7500*
Overuse of drugs has become a persisting problem in society. Drugs, when taken as prescribed, can be beneficial for a person. But, any drug can become addictive and be overused and abused when a person feels they need to depend on that drug to feel better. In moderation, drugs work wonders, but overuse or abuse can be lethal. A panel drug test is requested when a person is suspected to be on drugs that are banned or considered to be narcotics.

AN OVERVIEW
About Drug Panel Test
Why is the Drug Panel test done?
The drug panel test is done as part of a routine screening and monitoring test to check if a person is abusing prescribed and street drugs. The drug panel test is often requested by employment agencies or sports judges’ panels to ensure fair competition and having a person on board who is not influenced by any substance.
Law enforcement services also conduct a drug panel test when they suspect a person to be under influence, and drug abuse can be used as strong evidence for or against the person. The symptoms observed in a person who has overused drugs are:
- Delirium
- Nausea
- Breathing difficulty
- Paranoia
- Anxiety
- Dilated pupils
- Speech scurried and slow
- Low or elevated blood pressure
What does the Drug Panel test measure?
The drug panel test measures the presence of illegal drugs in the urine samples collected from the person. It is done to check for potential drug abusers. Sportspersons are also required to pass the drug panel test, especially for steroids, so that they can take part in the tournament and ensure fair play. People who have overdosed on certain medications are also taken through the drug panel test.
Urine samples are collected, and then, depending on the requirements, a 5-panel or 10-panel drug test is conducted. The most common drugs that are tested for include various types of cannabis like weed or marijuana, controlled drugs that are often used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, like amphetamine, steroids that are considered to be performance enhancers, and medications that are known as sleep inducers like chlordiazepoxide or alprazolam.
Potential risks/side effects of the Drug Panel test
The drug panel test requires urine samples. Since blood samples are not required, there are no chances of fainting or getting bruises on the skin. The drug panel test, on its own, poses no risks or side effects that can prove to be lethal.
In very rare cases, blood samples are collected. This can be due to requests placed by the company or if a certain time has passed between the testing day and the suspected day of consumption. Then, precautions related to blood sample collection are required. An experienced phlebotomist is brought in and the process is made to be as painless as possible.

Can steroids be considered illegal for a sportsperson?
Steroids are used for the treatment of various conditions. For a sportsperson, steroids can be illegal, if they are performance enhancers. If the sportsperson has sustained any injury and is put on steroids, they need to talk to the sports board for participation.
