What this test is

The methaqualone screen and confirmation, urine test is a two-step laboratory process that looks for methaqualone or its breakdown products in a urine sample. The screen is a fast, broad check, while the confirmation uses a more precise technique to verify whether methaqualone is truly present. Together, they help reduce the chance of a false result from the screening step alone.

What it measures

  • Methaqualone screen — A preliminary check that indicates whether methaqualone or related compounds might be present.
  • Methaqualone confirmation — A more specific analysis that verifies whether methaqualone is actually present.
  • Methaqualone level — The amount of methaqualone or its metabolites detected, when the lab reports a quantitative result.

What the test involves

You provide a urine sample by urinating into a sterile cup at a collection site or laboratory. The sample is then sealed, labeled, and sent to the testing laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when there is a concern about recent use of methaqualone, such as in emergency care, substance use assessment, or monitoring as part of a treatment plan. It can also be included in a broader drug panel when a person has symptoms that could be related to sedative use.

Preparation

Follow the instructions provided by the collection lab, which may include avoiding certain foods or medications beforehand. Because preparation can vary by lab and by the reason for testing, always confirm the specific steps with the lab that will collect your sample.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as negative or non-negative for the screen, and as detected or not detected for the confirmation, along with any measured level. Reference ranges and cutoffs are set by each laboratory and can differ, so results should always be interpreted using the range provided by the testing lab.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications or supplements you take could affect the test
  • The exact preparation instructions, including any foods or drinks to avoid
  • How and when results will be shared with you or your clinician
