I have the same question I’m confused because some answers say yes and some say no so what’s the correct answer
Do it show narcotics in your system
No it can't. Benzocaine and "Benzos" are two different types of drugs!
But , if you are not sure, you can ask your doctor, or better yet ask your pharmacist, they can tell you the difference between the 2 types of drugs.
Good luck!
"testing for benzo's" refers to testing for benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are a category of tranquilizing drugs (like valium, xanax, ativan etc), very different from benzocaine. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic and is NOT in the benzodiazepine family even though it has "benzo" in the name.
Hello shanemerrow. No. Your doctor or pharmacist can confirm or ask her/his opinion. Regards pledge
