Ketamine Testing
Ketamine is a powerful, fast-acting tranquilizing drug with anesthetic and hallucinogenic properties. It is considered more dangerous than many drugs in its category. Test Smartly Labs offers several testing options that will detect the use of ketamine in someone’s system. Whether you need the drug test for personal or professional reasons, you can trust us to get you quick answers.
What Is Ketamine And How Is It Abused?
Ketamine was originally created in the 1960s and used as an anesthetic during the Vietnam war. It is related to PCP, but ketamine is not as powerful.
In smaller doses, this drug reduces pain and causes temporary amnesia, which is especially useful in medical procedures. It is also showing promise in treating severe cases of clinical depression.
Unfortunately, ketamine is often abused and used for non-medical purposes. It is sometimes used in sexual assault as it hinders movement and speaking ability.
Ketamine is typically snorted up the nose when used recreationally. In higher doses, it can cause many short-term and long-term effects such as confusion, delusions, and breathing difficulties.
If you think your employee, friend, or family member may be experimenting with or using unprescribed ketamine, you should intervene. Test Smartly Labs offers many testing options for those who need quick results. Contact us today to get started immediately!
