Abstract
Recently, analysis of dried blood spots (DBS) is an increasingly accepted method in therapeutic drug monitoring and forensic toxicology. Consequently, stability studies of validated GCMS method for amphetamine, methamphetamine (MA), methylendioxyamphetamine (MDA), methylendioxymethaphetamine (MDMA), and methylendioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA) in DBS are required.
