What Is The Barbiturates Test For?

Barbiturates are synthetic sedative drugs which slow down the central nervous system, and used to be regularly prescribed for anxiety and depression and insomnia.  They are no longer common on the street due to the increased prescription of benzodiazepines.

Regular use leads to physical dependence develop and withdrawal may result in irritability, anxiety or an inability to sleep. High dose withdrawal can have severe symptoms including seizures, low blood pressure and delerium - and can even be fatal.

What if Barbiturates Results Are High?

Urine drug screens are generally interpreted alongside clinical history. Results are not always accurate, and some tests may not detect all forms of a particular drug.

A negative result can occur despite drug use because the timing of the test affects detection. False positive results can also occur when other drugs interfere with the test.

Overall, urine drug screen results are commonly interpreted with caution.

How accurate is the Barbiturates test?

The Barbiturates test used by Vitall is highly accurate when performed correctly and interpreted in the appropriate context.

Can the Barbiturates test detect all types of barbiturates?

The Barbiturates test can detect a wide range of common barbiturates. However, the sensitivity may vary based on the specific type of barbiturate and the timing of the test following ingestion.

What should I do if the results of the Barbiturates test are negative, but I still have symptoms?

If your test results are negative but you're still experiencing symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare provider. They can perform further assessments and tests if necessary, as barbiturate misuse might not be the only cause of your symptoms.

What should I do if the result of the Barbiturates test is positive?

If the result of your test is positive, it is crucial that you seek professional advice. Contact a healthcare provider who can provide guidance based on the test results and your symptoms.

How do I interpret the results of the Barbiturates test?

After your sample has been analysed, you'll receive a detailed report explaining your results. If the test detects barbiturates in your sample, it may indicate misuse or dependency.

How do I use the Barbiturates test kit?

The test kit comes with a lancet device for finger-pricking, a special blood collection tube, a prepaid return envelope, and detailed instructions on how to use the kit. Make sure to follow these instructions carefully to collect and return your sample.

How does the Barbiturates test work?

This test involves a finger-prick blood sample which you can do yourself at home. After you collect the sample, it is sent back to a UKAS accredited lab where it is analysed for the presence of barbiturates.

What symptoms can the Barbiturates test help diagnose?

The barbiturates test can help diagnose dependency or misuse of barbiturates, which may cause symptoms such as impaired judgement, sluggishness, mood swings, confusion, and even seizures. However, this test should be used as a part of a broader assessment, not as the sole tool for diagnosis.

What is the Barbiturates test kit for?

The Barbiturates test kit is designed to detect the presence of barbiturates, a type of central nervous system depressants, in your body. These substances are often misused for their tranquilising and mood-altering effects, which can lead to dependency and serious health problems.
