Januvia Tablet Found In Stool

Updated

I was taking stool sample for hemacult test and saw the Januvia tablet in my feces 12 hours after taking the tablet. Why was the tablet intact at this time i.e 12 hrs after dose? Why wasn't it absorbed?

Also will the red /orange color cause false positive in hemacult test?

The outer shells of some tablets are not meant to be dissolved, but that doesn't mean that the medication wasn't released.

Sometimes, the outer shell is used as part of the mechanism to control the rate of the release of the medication, but you may want to ask your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain.
