Frequently Asked Questions
What is PCP and why is it tested in urine?
Phencyclidine (PCP), also called Angel Dust, is a dissociative hallucinogen abused for its psychoactive effects. Urine testing detects PCP metabolites, which remain detectable longer than the parent drug.
How long does PCP stay detectable in urine?
PCP metabolites can typically be detected in urine for 7–14 days after single use and up to 30 days or more in chronic heavy users, depending on dose and metabolism.
Is fasting required for this urine drug test?
No, fasting is not required. Collect a fresh mid-stream urine sample and submit it promptly to the lab.
Can medications cause a false positive for PCP?
Certain drugs such as dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, and some antipsychotics may cross-react in immunoassay screening. Confirmatory testing by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS resolves any positive screening results.
What does a positive PCP urine result mean?
A positive result indicates recent PCP exposure and should be interpreted clinically alongside symptoms such as agitation, nystagmus, hypertension, and dissociative behavior. Confirmatory testing is recommended for legal or employment purposes.
