American Clinical Solutions Adds Ritalin to Their Drug Test Panel
Summary
Boca Raton, FL, May 23, 2013 --( PR.com )-- American Clinical Solutions now offers drug tests for both methylphenidate and ritalinic acid in urinary or oral fluid samples.ADHD is characterized by hyperactivity, limited attention span, and poor impulse control, which can often lead to lower academic performance of affected kids.Methylphenidate is readily absorbed by oral route and is rapidly biotransformed by human carboxylesterases to form its major metabolite, ritalinic acid.Since consuming methylphenidate can lead to increased dopamine level in brain, it therefore has high abuse potential and is currently listed as Schedule II psychostimulant in USA.Potential health risks with consumption of psychostimulants such as cardiovascular events should not be overlooked.Cheng Fang, MD., PH D., DABT | cheng.fang@americanclinicalsolutions.comAmerican Clinical Solutions, LLC.
