Opinions Vary And No National Standards Exist On Role Of Urine Testing To Monitor Adults Who Take Medications For AD/HD

Kaiser Health News (3/25, Zionts) reported, “Some adults who take prescription medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder” (AD/HD) “are required to have their urine tested for drugs several times a year,” whereas “others never are tested.” Several physicians “told KHN there are varying opinions and no national standards on the role of urine testing to monitor adults who take” medications for AD/HD, “so patients face dramatically different requirements, depending on their clinics’ and health insurers’ policies.”
