Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Benzodiazepines (RIA) test detect?
It screens for the benzodiazepine class of drugs including diazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam, and their metabolites in the sample.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. Benzodiazepine screening can be performed on any collected sample at any time.
What samples are accepted for benzodiazepine testing?
Urine is the most common sample. Blood and other biological specimens may also be accepted depending on clinical or forensic requirements.
How long do benzodiazepines stay detectable in the body?
Detection windows vary by drug and metabolism. Most benzodiazepines are detectable in urine for 1–7 days after last use, while some long-acting variants like diazepam may be detected up to 2 weeks.
Can prescribed benzodiazepine medication cause a positive result?
Yes. A positive screen confirms the presence of benzodiazepine-class compounds and does not distinguish between prescribed therapeutic use and misuse. Clinical correlation is essential.
