PHENCYCLIDINE

The phencyclidine (PCP) test detects the presence of PCP, a dissociative anesthetic and recreational drug, in the blood, urine, or saliva. PCP is known for its hallucinogenic and mind-altering effects. The test is used in clinical and forensic settings to screen for PCP 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 PCP use.
