Drug Screen Info ?? Equanil

by LostFree, Sep 20, 2002 12:00AM
Does anyone know if there is a place where you can find out if a particular RX will show up in a drug screen?  I need to know about one named Equanil (MEPROBAMATE) and need to know if it shows up in a drug screen, it's for anxiety.  Thanks for the help.

"Meprobamate ( Equanil, Meprospan and Miltown ) are antianxiety agents. Meprobamate ( Equanil, Meprospan and Miltown ) are not benzodiazepines and are less effective. Used for short-term relief of anxiety or nervousness."



The definition Above is from the Physician's PDR... It doesn't mention it, but I *think* Meprobamate is either a barbituate, or synthetic barbituate. I don't think that the average drug screen would look for that particular drug. However, It all depends upon HOW MUCH $$$ the people doing the drug screen are willing to pay. It is much more expensive to get a comprehensive Drug screen than to just look for Opiates, Marijuana, Benzos, and amphetamines.



Good luck!
