My client is taking Zopiclone, why is the benzodiazepine test result negative?
A. Zopiclone (Zolpidem) is a type of drug that although working in a similar way to traditional benzodiazepines such as Valium, is chemically different to reduce some of the side effects. It is therefore not detected with Intercept® testing. We are unlikely to be able to offer a specific screening test for this in the short term.
