drug testing

Drug screening is required for participants

If you are using any street drugs be prepared for the fact that regular drug screening will keep you from participating in our clinical trials.

Why do we require drug screening? Why does it matter if you use other drugs?

Street drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, and others can't be used if you are a participating in clinical trials. Many of the compounds being tested work on the same receptors in the brain that street drugs affect. Disorder symptoms are sometimes masked by the use of street drugs. In addition, benefits from a study medication could be masked by a street drug.

Therefore, a requirement of participating in our clinical trials is passing an initial urine drug screen, as well as taking additional screens during office visits.
