With most medications, a certain level of drug in the bloodstream is required to obtain the desired effect. Some medications are harmful if the level rises too high and do not work if the levels are too low. Drug interactions with other drugs, dietary supplements or specific foods can also impact a drugs level in the bloodstream.
Healthcare providers depend on laboratory testing to aid in monitoring the amount of the drug found in the bloodstream so he or she can ensure that the drug level is within an effective range. Similarly, medical examiners and other professionals involved in investigating the cause of a person’s death may be interested in toxicology testing that can provide insights to the levels of drugs typically monitored – or abused.
Testing is available for specific medications, as generalized drug screens and specialized panels designed specifically to aid in the investigation of death and provide insights into driving under the influence of drugs.
