Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerful illegal stimulant derived from the coca plant. It is commonly snorted, inhaled, or injected, producing short-lived intense euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness. Cocaine use carries serious health risks including heart attacks, strokes, and addiction. It is known for its high potential for abuse and is classified as a Schedule II drug in the United States.
Description
Testing for cocaine is particularly relevant for individuals in drug rehabilitation programs, as part of employment drug screenings, and in legal settings, such as criminal investigations or custody cases. It’s also important in medical emergencies to diagnose potential drug overdose or in cases of chronic abuse for appropriate treatment planning.
Cocaine has a short half-life and is metabolized quickly, but its metabolites can be detected for a longer period. In urine, it’s typically detectable for 2-4 days after use, but this can extend up to a week in heavy users. Cocaine can be detected in blood for about 12-48 hours and in saliva for 1-2 days. In hair, it can be detected for months after use.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s cocaine test should ideally be taken within 2-4 days after the last use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
