How about: Asking the doctor who ordered the test? Then you would hear it from the horse's mouth -- no conjecture. Best wishes.

Possibly both: Oral fluids may be used to test for the presence, absence, or breakdown products of the medication. This is helpful to also see if you metabolize the medication normally, rapidly or slowly.
