Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the follow up precision.

This drug should normally show up in urine samples if the drug is well taken as prescribed. However, if there is a discordance between the laboratory findings and the expected results, the first thing would be to repeat the test and make sure this was correctly carried out. I will recommend you get a repeat this test and preferably at a different laboratory before we get to looking for reasons why this test seems not in line with expected results.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and help as need arises. Thanks for using our services.
