Valium's generic name is Diazepam, and it can only be prescribed by its generic name within the U.K. on N.H.S. prescriptions.

If a sporting event were conducting a 'Doping Screen' for the use of Benzodiazepines, BOTH Lorazepam and Diazepam (Valium) could be traced, as chemically, they are 'cousins.'

Will adivan show jup the same as Valium in a urine drug tests?

Having Ativan in your system will cause the result of a urine drug test to show up as positive for benzodiazepines, which is what Valium would do. So yes, they would show up in the same way.


Does Valium and Ativan have same chemical make up?

No, Valium and Ativan are different medications with different active ingredients. Valium is a trade name (brand name) for the drug "diazepam" and Ativan is a trade name for the drug "lorazepam." However, both diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan) belong to the same class of sedative hypnotic prescription medications known as benzodiazepines. Accordingly, diazepam and lorazepam have similar chemical/molecular structures and share many of the same therapeutic properties.

Is lorazapan the same as Valium on a follicle test?

No, lorazepam and Valium (diazepam) are not the same substance and will not show up identically on a follicle test. While both are benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety and other conditions, they have different chemical compositions. A follicle test can differentiate between the two, detecting specific metabolites associated with each drug. Therefore, they would show up as distinct substances in such testing.

Will flexeril and Valium show the same results on a urine test?

Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) and Valium (diazepam) are both muscle relaxants but belong to different drug classes. While Valium is a benzodiazepine and is commonly tested in urine drug screens, Flexeril may not always be specifically detected. However, some tests may show general muscle relaxants or metabolites that could indicate the presence of Flexeril. It ultimately depends on the type of urine test conducted.


Will Ativan and Darvocet show up the same on a drug test?

NO. They are not chemically related and have entirely different effects. Ativan is the brand name for lorazepam, a tranquilizer closely related to Valium. Darvocet is a combination of the synthetic analgesic propoxyphene and Tylenol.


Will Ativan and Valium show up the sam in a urine test?

Valium (diazepam) and Ativan (lorazepam) will not show up as the same drug.Valium undergoes extensive hepatic (liver) metabolism by CYP2C19, a component of an enzyme system. When it becomes metabolized several active metabolites form, primarily desmethyldiazepam (Nordazepam), oxazepam, and temazepam. These active metabolites are also benzodiazepine class drugs. Nordazepam is available in some countries, Oxazepam is best known as Serax and Serepax, and temazepam is a commonly used hypnotic best known as Restoril. 98.5% of diazepam is metabolized and on a negligible amount of diazpeam is excreted.Unlike Valium, Ativan does not have any active metabolites because it does not under go any hepatic biotransformation. Due to this reason Ativan (and Serax) are most often used in people with significant liver damage because the liver does not have to "work" on Ativan.When a drug test occurs Ativan will be positive if the test is positive for lorazepam. If any other benzodiazepines are found then another drug must have been taken. When Valium is tested for, diazepam and active metabolites (none are lorazepam) might be found.


Is flexaril's the same as Valium?

No, Valium is a tranquilizer and Flexeril is a muscle relaxant


Can 1 mg of Lorazepam make you high?

No. Lorazepam (Ativan) is a benzodiazepine drug, which is a sedative and is in the same drug class as Valium. It will cause drowsiness and can cause serious, and even fatal, respiratory depression if taken with drugs such as other sedatives (e.g. sleeping pills), narcotic pain pills, and antihistamines.
