ToxTests | MDPV Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (Bath Salts) Drug Test Dip Cards

The technical term for ‘bath salts’ is substituted cathinone. Substituted cathinone is synthetic, concentrated version of the stimulant chemical in Khat. Khat is a plant that is cultivated and used in East Africa and the Middle East. It has a stimulant effect on the user and can be quite dangerous. The white crystals resemble legal bathing salts, thus the name of ‘bath salts’.

Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) is a New Psychoactive Substance (NPS) derived from cathinone and is one of the main ingredients for "bath salts," among other synthetic stimulants like Mephedrone, Methylone, Butylone and Methedrone.
