The Urine Cotinine (Nicotine) Test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, in urine. It is commonly used to assess tobacco use, exposure to secondhand smoke, or compliance with smoking cessation programs. The test uses immunochromatography, a method that relies on the interaction between antibodies and cotinine to produce a visible result on a test strip. Cotinine remains detectable in urine for up to 3-4 days after nicotine exposure, making this test an effective way to monitor recent tobacco use or nicotine exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do I need this test?
Your healthcare provider may order this test to measure your progress in a smoking cessation program. Your healthcare provider can also figure out the right dose for a nicotine patch in your smoking cessation therapy by this test. This test also checks for nicotine poisoning.
How to prepare for this test?
Cotinine test requires a urine sample. A lab technician will provide you with instructions on how to collect the urine sample. Drink enough water before going for this test so that you can make enough urine for the sample. Stay away from second hand smokers.

What might affect the cotinine test results?
