QUESTION: Thanks for your answer so I am assuming that a normal blood or urine test would not show this up at all either
thanks for your time
Answer Hi Mark
One would need to specifically look for this medication. But since it is not a banned substance and it does not affect ones job performance they would not be looking for it. If you are doing a blood test for life insurance purposes and they would be looking for blood pressure or heart medications then they would be looking for it.
