Drug of abuse, Panel-6 Drugs

Description

The Drug of Abuse Panel-6 is an expanded version of the 5-panel test, screening for six commonly abused drugs or their metabolites. It typically includes all drugs tested in the 5-panel (marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates, and PCP) plus one additional substance, often benzodiazepines or ecstasy (MDMA). This broader panel provides more comprehensive coverage for drug detection, making it useful in settings requiring more thorough screening. Like the 5-panel test, it’s used in workplace testing, healthcare settings, and substance abuse programs, offering a balance between comprehensive coverage and cost-effectiveness.
