Detection Period: 2 to 4 days
Detection Level: 300 ng/mL (the cutoff level suggested by SAMHSA with Benzoylecgonine as the calibrator*)
Brief Description of Drug: Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant derived from coca leaves. It is known for increasing levels of dopamine in the brain, leading to intense euphoria and increased energy.
Effects:
- Euphoria
- Increased energy and alertness
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
- Decreased appetite
Forms: White powder (cocain hydrochloride), rock crystal (crack cocaine)
Methods of Consumption: Snorted, smoked, injected
Major Metabolite: Benzoylecgonine is the major metabolite of cocaine and is excreted through urine.
As described by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), cocaine is a Schedule II drug, indicating a high potential for abuse. Cocaine can be injected, snorted, or smoked. When injected or snorted, it is in its hydrochloride salt form. When smoked (as crack or freebase cocaine), it is processed with ammonia or baking soda, water, and heated into a smokable substance. Our cocaine drug test detects both cocaine and crack cocaine.
A recent study by NIDA highlights that cocaine use remains a significant problem in the United States, with an estimated 2.1 million current (past-month) users. Of these, approximately 610,000 are crack users. Young adults have the highest rate of current cocaine use, with 1.7% reporting recent use. Additionally, nearly 1.6 million Americans meet the criteria for cocaine addiction or abuse.
*The Cocaine urine drug test uses Benzoylecgonine as the calibrator for the stated 300 ng/mL testing level. The following table lists the concentrations of compounds (ng/mL) that are detected as positive in this urine drug test:
Compound | Detection Level (ng/mL) |
Benzoylecgonine | 300 ng/mL |
Cocaine | 780 ng/mL |
Cocaethylene | 12,500 ng/mL |
Ecgonine | 32,000 ng/mL |
With this home drug test, once the urine sample is collected, you will have your result within 5 minutes. The results are very easy to read:
- Negative Result: Two lines will appear—one in the Control Region and one in the Test Region.
- Positive Result: No line will appear in the Test Region, but a line will appear in the Control Region, indicating that the test was conducted successfully.
A positive result means that the drug concentration in the urine sample is greater than the designated cutoff/detection level for cocaine.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test card and/or test strip, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30 degrees Celsios) prior to testing.
DIRECTIONS FOR SINGLE TEST CARD
- Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
- Remove the cap.
- With the arrow pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test card vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Immerse the strip to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the test card. Replace the cap and place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface.
- Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
- The result should be read at 5 minutes. Results may be stable up to 1 hour after test initiation.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C), and another apparent colored line should be in the test region(T). This negative result indicates that the marijuana concentration is below the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
*NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.
POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T). This positive result indicates that the marijuana concentration exceeds the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test card or test strip. If the problem persists, discontinue use of the lot immediately and contact your distributor.
1. Does your cocaine drug test test for cocaine AND crack cocaine?
Answer: Yes. Our cocaine urine drug test will detect cocaine or crack cocaine drug use.
2. What are the detection periods for cocaine?
Answer: Our cocaine urine drug test detects cocaine (or crack cocaine) up to 2 to 4 days after use. Some studies suggest that repeated doses of cocaine can result in longer detection periods. An example of such a study can be read here at the US National Library of Medicine database PubMed. This study suggests that repeated cocaine dosing may make the detection period twice as long, meaning the cocaine urine test we sell could in situations of repeated or extreme use detect cocaine up to 8 days after use.
3. What is the significance of Benzoylecgonine in cocaine drug testing?
Answer: Benzoylecgonine is the major metabolite of cocaine and is used as the primary marker in cocaine drug testing. It is excreted in the urine and is the compound that most drug tests detect to confirm cocaine use. The presence of Benzoylecgonine indicates that cocaine has been metabolized by the body, providing a reliable indication of recent cocaine use.
4. What are the street names of cocaine?
Answer: Coke, crack, blow, flake, snow, toot, nose candy, liquid lady and more.
5. What will cocaine look like?
Answer: Cocaine is white and can be in the form of salts, powder and leaf infusions. Crack which is another form of cocaine is typically available as a rock which is white.
6. How is cocaine used?
Answer: Cocaine can be consumed orally, injected, snorted through the nose, inhaled as smoke, applied to oral, rectal and vaginal mucous membranes and chewed as leaves. Crack is smoked.
7. What are the short term effects of cocaine use?
Answer: Blood pressure increase, dilated pupils, increased mental alertness and increased energy, decreased appetite
8. What are the possible withdrawal symptoms if someone stops using cocaine?
Answer: Craving, depression, irritability, fatigue, increased appetite. Suicide as a possible result of withdrawal of this drug should be guarded against and watched out for.
9. How effective are instant home drug tests for detecting cocaine?
Answer: Instant home drug tests for cocaine are highly convenient and provide quick results, often within minutes. They are designed to be user-friendly, making them accessible for anyone to administer. When used correctly, these tests offer accurate detection of cocaine use, helping to identify recent drug use efficiently. While laboratory-based tests are more comprehensive, home tests are a reliable first step in screening and can be followed up with lab confirmation if needed. The combination of convenience, speed, and accuracy makes instant home drug tests a valuable tool for families, small businesses, and schools looking to maintain a drug-free environment
