Tramadol Drug Testing

Tramadol – also known as Chill Pills, Trammies or Ultras – belongs to a group of drugs called opioid analgesics, and is a powerful painkiller used in medical settings to treat moderate to severe pain.

It can also be prescribed to treat long-term pain, where other painkillers are no longer effective.

While not as powerful as other opioids, like heroin, its effects are similar and both substances are addictive.

Taking tramadol can make you feel calm, happy, and relaxed, and relieve symptoms of pain. However, it can also make you feel tired and lethargic, moody, irritable, and confused.

When legally prescribed, a physician or other medical practitioner will carefully manage the prescription, to minimize the risks of long-term addiction.

Tramadol is usually swallowed in tablet form, either in a white pill or colored capsule. It can also be taken as a liquid, or injected, but this usually only happens in hospital.

Recreational drug users – or people who abuse their prescription – sometimes crush and snort tramadol tablets in powder form.

Even after the ‘high’ has worn off, and long after the drug was first consumed, tramadol use can be detected by a drug test, depending on the type of test you take.

The drug testing detection windows for tramadol are as follows:

• Urine– up to 4 days
• Hair – up to 12 months (depending on the length of hair available)
• Nails– up to 12 months (up to 6 months for fingernails and up to 12 months for toenails)

The type of drug test you need depends on your individual needs and circumstances. We offer three types of drug test to detect tramadol use:

• Home Urine Drug Test
• Home Hair Drug Test
• Home Drug & Alcohol Nail Test

Urine drug tests provide a narrow window of detection, meaning that they can only tell us whether an individual has been using drugs in the few days prior to the samples being collected.

A urine drug test provides a window of detection up to four days after tramadol was first used.

This makes urine drug tests ideal for circumstances where an individual is suspected to be under the influence of drugs in the ‘here and now’, or for day-to-day monitoring of drug use.

Hair drug tests and nail drug tests provide us with a wide window of detection (up to 12 months) for drug use. This is due to the way in which drugs are retained in the hair and nails, long after substances were first consumed.

Peace of mind, home hair drug tests can provide an overview of drug use up to 12 months. Nail drug tests are ideal where hair testing is not possible, providing an overview of historic drug use up to six months (fingernails) or up to 12 months (toenails).

Our home drug tests allow you to collect your samples in the comfort of your own home and return them to our laboratory for testing (where appropriate). Please be aware that the results of these tests cannot be used for legal purposes.
