What is TCA?

TCA stands for tricyclic antidepressants. This prescription drug is often recommended as the treatment of depression and treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD).

Tricyclic Antidepressants

Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) were one of the first antidepressants released.  Today, they are still available and widely used for treating depression.

Though they aren’t considered as addictive as other prescription medications, long-term Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) usage can, unfortunately, lead to dependency.

Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) abuse is a concern among many in the United States today.  For this reason, many urine tests and multidrug tests contain drug panels that detect TCA’s as many incorporate screening for this drug into their drug testing procedures.

  1. Remove the Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA) drug test from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. For best results, perform the test within an hour.
  2. Next, hold the test by the end, where you can see the product name. To avoid contamination, do not touch the test membrane.
  3. Then, holding the test vertically, dip the test in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse above the maximum line (MAX) on the test. That’s about 1/5th of the way up the test.
  4. After the drug test has finished, remove the test from the specimen and place it on a non-absorbent flat surface. Start the timer and wait for the colored band(s) to appear. Read the result at 5 minutes. Do not interpret it after 10 minutes.

Why Are Tricyclic Antidepressants on a Drug Test?

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are included in some drug tests because they can help determine cases of toxicity, overdose, and other emergencies. TCA can also cause false positive results for other drugs, such as cocaine. A TCA screen may be ordered by a healthcare provider to ensure that a patient is receiving a safe and effective dose of a TCA medication or to diagnose a TCA overdose, which can cause symptoms such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, trouble urinating, drowsiness, lightheadedness, and seizures. TCAs are a class of antidepressants that affect the chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) used to communicate between brain cells, ultimately leading to changes in brain chemistry and communication in brain nerve cell circuitry known to regulate mood and help relieve depression.

What is TCA on a Drug Test?

When TCA is mentioned on a drug test, it refers to a test that measures the levels of tricyclic antidepressants in a patient’s blood or urine sample. The reason for testing for TCAs on a drug test may vary, but it is usually done to monitor TCA levels in patients who are taking these medications to ensure that they are receiving a safe and effective dose. In some cases, the test may also be used to identify a TCA overdose in individuals who have symptoms such as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, trouble urinating, drowsiness, lightheadedness, or seizures.

What Are Some Tricyclic Antidepressants?

Some of the most commonly prescribed TCAs include the following:

  • Imipramine (Tofranil)

  • Desipramine (Norpramin)
  • Doxepin (Silenor)
  • Nortriptyline (Pamelor)

Forensic use

Forensic use

What is Forensic use only?

Forensic Use Only devices are meant to be sold for research purposes only. These devices are not regulated by the FDA and are only to be used as screening tools. If further information is required over the result of a forensic use only drug test, please send the device to laboratory for confirmation.

Courts, police departments, probation/parole offices, juvenile detention centers, prisons, jails, correction centers, and other law enforcement agencies, as well as laboratories or other establishments that do forensic testing for these entities, are all appropriate users of such devices.

Forensic Use Only devices are not intended, tested, produced, or labeled for use in other environments, such as clinical diagnostics or the workplace.

What does it imply when something says "For Forensic Use Only"?

This means that the drug testing device is not FDA 510k cleared. Drug tests with this indication should not be utilized for employment screening, pain management screening, or any other purpose. These tests are exclusively for drug testing in law enforcement, prisons, the military, or other government institutions.

What products are included in this category?

Some saliva/oral drug detection products are only intended for forensic usage. Additionally, some speciality tests (like our K2/Spice drug test) are specifically meant for forensic usage. Other screening devices may also fall within this category. Any equipment on our site that is only intended for forensic use will be clearly marked on the product page.

Ship Date and Zip Code Results

Why Does My Tracking Info Still Say "Label Created, Not yet in the System" When I Placed It X Days Ago?

If your order was placed via USPS, sometimes your label might not show up in their system even 1-3 days after they have received the package. The same can happen for UPS orders, although they almost always show up in their system the night which they are shipped. If you have any questions regarding the status of your order, please contact us and we will investigate the matter.

If I Pay for a next Day Air Delivery, Am I Guaranteed to Receive It the next Day?

Air deliveries performed by UPS are counted via business days, so you will receive your package the business day after it has been shipped. We also do not ship orders placed after 4 pm EST on the same day, so Next Day orders placed after 4 pm will be shipped the following business day.

Why Can't I Check the Tracking of My Package?

After you place your order, an email will be sent to you with the tracking number within a business day. If you did not receive this email, it’s possible that the e-mail was entered incorrectly, sent to your spam folder, or blocked.

I Placed My Order but I No Longer Need It. Can I Return It and Get a Refund?

We accept returns for unused items as long as they are placed within 30 days after the day they are purchased. Although shipping is free upon order, we still incur a cost for every order that is shipped, and you will be refunded the amount of your order once we receive the returned goods, minus the cost of shipping.
