6. Analysis of Non-Controlled Pharmaceuticals, Pseudo-Drugs,
Issue:
Adulterants, Diluents, and Precursors
Most "street-level" drugs are "cut" with various adulterants and diluents. Many of
these cutting agents are pharmaceutical products or precursors. Others are
“carry-through” compounds present in precursors (especially in cold remedy
products). Separation and identification of these extraneous materials can be
tedious, especially in exhibits which contain many components. In addition, new
or unusual adulterants and/or diluents are occasionally identified in drug exhibits,
and standard analytical data are required for these substances. Finally,
improved methods of analysis, i.e., faster, more discriminatory, less costly, etc.,
are needed for all cutting agents.
