Question 1

how long does naloxone stay in your urine ? for it not to show up in a drug test

Accepted Answer

Naloxone in urine: This will depend on the testing method used. I would ask the person ordering the test this question.

Question 2

how long after a dose, is naloxone detectable in a urine screen?

Accepted Answer

Not predictable: Whether naloxone is detected on a drug screen depends on each individual's body, on how much was taken, on when it was taken, on the quality of the test, on the type of chemicals the test looks for, on the diluteness of the urine, on pure luck, etc... If the person is taking the naloxone appropriately, no worries. Otherwise, stop using the stuff, and then no worries.

Question 3

how long will naloxone show up in a urine test when taking suboxone?

Accepted Answer

SEVERAL DAYS: Impossible to say for sure, depends on dose, your weight, absorption, etc.

Question 4

if i take 1- 2mg dose of sub film now will it be out of my system by wed am at 7:00? i don't want the naloxone to show up on a urine drug screen.

Question 5

if suboxone was taken friday and saturday would the naloxone still be in the urine on tuesday? (yes the clinic here test for both ingredients in subs)

Accepted Answer

Probably: Not. Why not just be honest before you take the test? It's a lot better for trust!!

Question 6

why did i test positive for naloxone in my urine but i have never  taken it before in my life i just find it strange it happened after i started my first script of phentermine substitute for oby-trim and the only  other thing is equate nicotine patch?

Accepted Answer

False positive: What kind of test was done? If it was a screening test, then it needs to be confirmed with a test using a different method. Screening tests are set to have high sensitivity but do have a few false positives.  Talk to the doctor who ordered the test.
Wish you good health!

Question 7

i understand that heroin is detectable in urine up to 4days after use but if narcan is introduce to the system will it decrease detection time?

Accepted Answer

No: Narcan blocks opiates such as heroin at receptor sites in the brain but does not effect urine screening. If you are trying to avoid a positive uds for heroin, the best way is to abstain :). If this is a problem seek professional help. Heroin kills.

Question 8

i have been stable taking bup/naloxone 8/2, 1/2 tab 3-4 x day for 8 years for pain, but insurance no longer will pay, is there any other med option?

Accepted Answer

Chronic pain: For advice and treatment specific to your situation please consult a pain specialist licensed in your country.

There is an organisation called the International Association for the Society of Pain (IASP) that has branches in many countries with links to local information and help resources that may be useful.

Question 9

can you be allergic to naloxone?

Accepted Answer

It is possible: It is possible to be allergic to any medication. A medication has other ingredients, such as stabilizers, preservatives, pH buffers, etc..., and a person may be allergic to one of the other ingredients. Also, a person can be ok with the drug, but react to a breakdown product of the drug, or react to a "bound" combination of the drug+substance (the substance may be from the person's own body).

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes: The maximum dosage for any individual depends on many factors, however the manufacturer oftens states a maximum dosage for certain individuals.  There is a maximum dosage for all medications.
