About test
What does COTININE measure?
This test measures cotinine, a substance formed when the body processes nicotine. It may be used to assess recent exposure to tobacco products, nicotine replacement products, or second-hand smoke. Healthcare professionals may order it to support smoking-status assessment, monitor nicotine exposure, or evaluate eligibility for certain clinical programmes. Results should be interpreted in the context of nicotine use and other clinical information.
