Ephedrine, Urine

This test measures the amount of ephedrine in your urine. Ephedrine is a stimulant found in some decongestants and supplements that speeds up your heart rate and nervous system. This test helps show if you have recently used this substance, which is helpful for investigating unexplained symptoms like a racing heart or for monitoring the use of banned performance enhancers. While it detects the presence of the drug, it cannot determine exactly when it was taken or the specific dosage used.
