Our superior laboratory services and proprietary methods of analysis are backed by exceptional service and clinical support to help you create a pain medication monitoring program that meets the needs of your practice.

Expertise and Superior Laboratory Services
The Ameritox Laboratory in Midland, Texas, processes thousands of specimens a day with the highest degree of accuracy, reliability and sensitivity. Most urine drug testing simply determines the absence or presence of a certain class of drugs. The Ameritox Rx GuardianSM process utilizes state-of-the art initial screening and confirmatory testing. Our analytical technology identifies and quantifies a wide range of prescribed and non-prescribed medications—at some of the lowest detection levels in the industry.

After screening and confirmatory testing, we analyze and report the amount of drug or metabolite present. We then employ an additional phase of urine drug test analysis. Using our patented methods, a patient’s specific factors and urine drug test results are analyzed to produce a normalized value. This normalized value is then compared to an expected range for some of the most common prescribed medications. All of this information helps you determine if a patient is taking his or her medication as prescribed.

Unsurpassed Level of Reporting
The Ameritox Rx Guardian results report provides an unsurpassed level of reporting. Our report can help you determine whether your patients are taking their medications consistent with your prescribed regimens. This information can instantly help you identify possible medication misuse, potential abuse or diversion.  Integrating Ameritox medication monitoring solutionsSM into your continuum of care can help create better outcomes for all of your chronic pain patients.
