Cocaine 300

Cocaine is an alkaloid present in Coca leaves (Erythyroxine coca). Its pharmacological properties, such as stimulating and euphoric effects, have been known for centuries. Cocaine produces alertness, wakefulness, increased energy, reduced hunger, and an overall feeling of well being. In larger doses, Cocaine causes fever, unresponsiveness, difficulty in breathing and unconsciousness. Cocaine is often self-administered by nasal inhalation, intravenous injection and free-base smoking. Cocaine is excreted in the urine primarily as Benzoylecgonine, which can generally be detected for 24 – 48 hours after cocaine exposure. These Identify Diagnostics drug tests yield a positive result when the Cocaine metabolite in urine exceeds 300 ng/mL, which is the suggested screening cut-off for positive specimens set by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA, USA).  Also see our available cut-off level of 150 ng/ml.
