Oxazepam is a metabolite of
Oxazepam is a metabolite of diazepam. Oxazepam (~4-14 hours) has a much shorter halflife than diazepam (~20-100), so it does seem strange that it would show up three weeks later if he only took those two pills at that time...

I don't think
that if he has had serial drug tests (meaning several in a row), that he wouldn't know how the drugs were getting in there. One time, I could understand, but any more than that???....Sounds like he might not be being honest with you.

Valium is diazepam and Serax is oxazepam. Six weeks seems like a long time for it to show up for two "valium". What else should he be looking at? Is he taking unknown pills? If he is testing positive, its getting in his system some how. Ive never heard of anything but benzos showing up as benzos.
