PROPOXYPHENE

The propoxyphene test detects the presence of propoxyphene, a synthetic opioid pain medication, in the blood, urine, or saliva. Propoxyphene is used medically for pain relief but has a high potential for abuse and addiction. The test is used in clinical and forensic settings to screen for propoxyphene 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 propoxyphene use.
