A toxicology screening is a medical test that measures the levels of various toxins in your blood or urine. This test can help your doctor determine if you have been exposed to any harmful substances. A toxicology screening may be ordered if you are experiencing unexplained symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. It may also be ordered if you are feeling extremely fatigued or if your doctor suspects that you may have been exposed to an unwanted substance. Your doctor will likely order other tests in addition to a toxicology screening, such as blood work and imaging.
Toxicology screenings provide your healthcare provider with valuable information about what substances you have come into contact with. This allows your doctor to make a more accurate diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate course of treatment.
Narcotics are a type of drug that is typically used to relieve pain. They are most commonly associated with painkillers like morphine and codeine, but they can also include drugs like heroin or opium. While narcotics are often prescribed to treat pain for valid medical reasons, they can be addictive when used over long periods of time. The effects of narcotics typically include euphoria, drowsiness, relaxation, and sedation. Because of these effects, they can cause impaired coordination and motor function, which could create problems for employees who need to operate machinery or other types of equipment.
Another type of drug that can negatively impact workplace safety is stimulants. These drugs are typically used to increase energy and motivation by suppressing the appetite and increasing the heart rate. Some common types of stimulants include amphetamines, cocaine, and ecstasy. The effects of stimulants can be very dangerous in the workplace. They can cause heart problems, seizures, and even death. Additionally, they can lead to aggressive or erratic behavior, which could put other employees at risk.
Depressants are the final class of drugs that can be detected in the workplace. These drugs are used to calm and relax the body. Some common types of depressants include benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and GHB. The effects of depressants can be dangerous in the workplace as well. They can cause slowed breathing and heart rate, which can lead to a person becoming unconscious or even dying. Additionally, they can cause confusion and drowsiness, which could lead to accidents.
