Cocaine is a tropane alkaloid that acts as a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant. As an extract, it is mainly used recreationally, and often illegally for its euphoric and rewarding effects. It is also used in medicine by Indigenous South Americans for various purposes and rarely, but more formally as a local anaesthetic by medical practitioners in more developed countries.

Overview
Cocaine is a naturally derived, highly potent nervous system (CNS) stimulant and a local anesthetic. Cocaine is consumed either by chewing, snorting or smoking ; alternatively it may also be injected. The psychological effects induced by using cocaine are euphoria,feeling of confidence , sense of increased energy, and a dissociative state of mind. These psychological effects are accompanied by increased heart rate, dilation of the pupils, difficulty in breathing, fever , tremors and sweating. Cocaine is either excreted unchanged or as metabolites namely benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methyl ester in a short period of time.Cocaine has a half -life of 2.4 to 4 hours. This Test detects the presence of cocaine in human urine specimens, qualitatively.
