Cannot tell the difference

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Urine and blood test can only reveal that there is benzodiazepine in the blood and the level of it. The test cannot tell which type of benzodiazepine.

I hope i was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
