Urine Drug Testing Laboratory Science and Services

Most urine drug testing simply determines the absence or presence of a drug. The Ameritox Rx Guardian^SM process with Rx Guardian CD^SM is the only urine drug monitoring solution with a comprehensive reference database derived from more than one thousand adherent chronic pain patients. Your patients’ normalized results can be compared against this database, giving you added assurance in assessing whether patients are taking their medication correctly.

Patients whose normalized drug values exceed two standard scores from the mean of the reference database, accompanied by clinical indicators of risk (such as aberrant behaviors), may have a higher likelihood of drug abuse, misuse, or diversion. Patients whose normalized drug values fall within two standard scores from the mean of the index database, and who lack clinical indicators of risk (such as aberrant behaviors), may have a lower likelihood of drug abuse, misuse, or diversion.
