Limitations
While the Antidepressant Drug Profile, Urine test is useful for detecting the presence of common antidepressant medications, it may not cover all possible drugs within this category. The detection and quantitation of the respective drugs are dependent on the sensitivity of the method used, and various factors such as urine pH and the presence of metabolites can affect the results. Additionally, the test does not discriminate between therapeutic use and the presence resulting from a prior overdose.
