METHYLPHENIDATE BY LCMS/MS

Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) is widely prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy, and is also a controlled substance with abuse potential. LC-MS/MS testing identifies methylphenidate and its primary metabolite ritalinic acid with high specificity, supporting monitoring of prescribed use and detection of misuse.

This test is used in patients on methylphenidate to verify compliance, evaluate possible diversion or misuse, and in forensic and workplace testing. Sample type is urine.
