5 Warnings and Precautions

5.19 Interference with Laboratory Tests for Opioid Detection

LYBALVI may cause false positive results with urinary immunoassay methods used for detecting opioids. Use an alternative analytical technique (e.g., chromatographic methods) to confirm positive opioid urine drug screen results [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.4)].

7 Drug Interactions

7.4 Interference with Laboratory Tests

Newly added subsection:

Interference with Laboratory Tests for Opioid Detection

Because LYBALVI contains samidorphan, an opioid antagonist, LYBALVI may be cross- reactive with urinary immunoassay methods used for detecting opioids, resulting in false positive results. Use an alternative analytical technique (e.g., chromatographic methods) to confirm positive opioid urine drug screen results [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.19)].
