Will voltaren gel show up in drug test?

It is not a part of a regular urinalysis and it is not a part of a urine drug screen.They would have to specifically request the test be done on urine. Normally Voltaren or other NSAIDS are checked by a blood draw, and they must specifically order Voltaren levels to be drawn and tested. It is not normally a part of a drug tox screen, especially not a topical gel. They are normally more concerned how that particular medication is affecting your body organs. Organs like your liver, pancreas, kidneys, white blood cell count etc.I hope that helps.
