Question : I took a 10mg valium and a half tablet about 2.5 weeks ago. Had a urine test 2 days ago. Will it show up?

Brief Answer:
No it will not show up

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.

After single dose of valium-diazepam, its metabolite can be detected up to one week.

In your case almost 15 days passed out. So there is no chance of detection at all in urine test.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to answer if any other query.

Regards,
Dr Chintan Solanki.
