What it measures
- Benzodiazepine class — Detects many common benzodiazepines, such as diazepam, lorazepam, and alprazolam, but not every specific drug.
- Specific benzodiazepines — Some tests can identify individual drugs like diazepam or midazolam, which may help confirm which substance was taken.
- Metabolites — Breakdown products of benzodiazepines that can remain in the blood longer than the original drug.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell your provider about all medications, supplements, and recreational drugs you use, as these can affect the results.
Results and what they mean

A positive result means benzodiazepines were detected, but it does not necessarily indicate misuse or impairment.
