  Author(s): Estrido Piazi*
  
  Drug screening is a crucial process used to detect the presence of drugs or their metabolites in biological samples to identify substance abuse, monitor therapeutic drug levels, and ensure safety in various settings, including workplaces, sports, and healthcare. The history of drug screening dates back to the early 20th century when rudimentary methods were employed. However, with advances in technology and understanding of drug metabolism, drug screening has evolved significantly, providing more accurate and efficient results. This article aims to delve into the principles, methodologies, applications, challenges, and future prospects of drug screening. Drug screening relies on the principles of analytical chemistry and pharmacokinetics. The process involves collecting biological samples, such as urine, blood, hair, saliva, or sweat, from individuals and subje.. Read More»
