METHAQUALONE

The methaqualone test detects the presence of methaqualone, a sedative-hypnotic drug, in the blood, urine, or saliva. Methaqualone, also known as Quaalude, was previously used as a medication for insomnia and anxiety but is now widely abused for its sedative effects. The test is used in clinical and forensic settings to screen for methaqualone use, monitor adherence to prescribed medications, and detect potential abuse. Positive test results can help healthcare providers identify substance use disorders, provide appropriate treatment, and prevent complications associated with methaqualone use.
