Amphetamine
Amphetamine is a central nervous system stimulant commonly used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It increases neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, enhancing focus, attention, and alertness. Amphetamine is also found in some weight loss medications but is known for its potential for abuse and dependence....
Description
Testing for amphetamine is beneficial for individuals suspected of abusing the drug, particularly those showing signs of addiction or adverse effects. It’s also relevant for workplace drug testing, legal cases, and in clinical settings where patients are prescribed amphetamine for medical conditions like ADHD, to ensure proper usage.
Amphetamine can stay in the body for varying durations depending on several factors like dosage, frequency of use, metabolism, and overall health. Generally, it can be detected in urine for 1-3 days after use, in blood for up to 12 hours, in saliva for 1-3 days, and in hair for up to 90 days.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s amphetamine test should ideally be taken within 1-3 days after the last use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
