Ketamine

Description
Testing for ketamine is important in clinical settings to monitor therapeutic use and prevent abuse. It’s also relevant in drug rehabilitation centers to ensure abstinence in individuals with a history of substance abuse. Additionally, ketamine testing is employed in forensic investigations, workplace drug screenings, and in scenarios where ketamine misuse is suspected, such as cases of unexplained altered mental states.
Ketamine is detectable in urine for 5 to 14 days after use, in blood for up to 24 hours, and in saliva for up to 24 hours. In hair follicles, ketamine can be detected for up to 90 days. These detection windows can vary based on factors like the dose used, frequency of use, and individual metabolic differences.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s ketamine test should ideally be taken within 5-14 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.
