A member asked:

Can i take 10mg of valium prior a blood test (full blood count, electrolytes, thyroid, glucose, b12 etc) or will it affect results? kind regards

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not those tests.: It shouldn't affect your other blood tests, but you will test positive for benzodiazepines if you take a drug screen.
