What Cold Medicines Contain Benzo (Top voted first)

Updated

took a urine test and was told that I tested positive for benzo. I have only been taking chlortabs. Does chlortabs contain benzo as one of its ingredients?

Wow, I was searching for info on Benzodes and here someone had the exact same problem as me. I am on e strick pain management program and have tested negative for anything other than what I had been precribed, that is until this January. I traded my benadryl for Chlorphen Tabs which worked better for the year round allergies, now all of a sudden they say I have benzodiazepines in my system. Why isn't this put on the label that it can affect lab results? This has to be the culprit.

Wife was tested for drugs after her sister had a baby, they say her sis showed positive for BENZO in January. We *know we haven't taken any drugs other than over the counter (OTC) Naproxen Sodium & Cold Tablets (CHLORTABS) bam! *CHLORTABS show *false positive results for "BENZO"

These tests are an outrage. I don't smoke pot, don't do crack, crank, meth etc. I am just on pain management due to a couple of bad injuries. What if I was one of many people who have to take these tests due to probation or parole requirements? I would immediately tossed in jail, no questions asked. What if i was one of those parents who had to take UA's as a requirement to keep my children? What if I was one of those people and had one of these dirty UA's? Their children would be ripped from the parents arms, no questions asked. People say just take a second one, well I just got a bill for my UA and it was almost $600.00!!! Yeah, like any of us should have to take a second one because labs tests are not reliable.

How can I obtain proof that the cold medicine *MAXIMUM STRENGTH SINUS & ALERGY PE, (same as SUDAFED PE) contains benzodiadapines? Please, my wife can't even be alone with our child - thanks to STODDARD COUNTY MO DFS, they say we are taking drugs, had my house searched by the Police, & Juvenile as well!

after two months of research on my dirty UA, I get a call from Doctors office apologizing, that the test results of another person were stapled to mine and they put it in my records. Still I think about the what if's of all the people out there who part of their parole or right to have their children are based on results that are not reliable.

Hi Blue,

The term "Benzo" or Benzodiazepines is actually referring to the drug class or type of drug that it is corresponding to.

In this case, Chlortabs (chlorpheniramine maleate) is in a class of medications called antihistamines, and it appears that you got a false positive for a Benzodiazepine class drug ('such as' Xanax), which are most commonly used for treating anxiety or depression.

From what I could gather, there are a lot of over-the-counter medications that may test positive for Benzodiazepines, so it may be in your best interest to contact the lab for a re-test, if possible, depending upon how severely these lab results effect you.
