Will diclofenac epolamine show up on a drug test?

Don't know about the epolamine. Can't find in my drug book. Diclofenac though, is part of diclofenac potassium, and diclofenac sodium, which are non-steroidal anti-inflammatories(NSAIDS). I can't locate any literature that says there is anything in them that would show up on a drug test. Most drug tests are highly specific. They look for THC, opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, and barbituates. Normal NSAIDS have NONE of those as ingredients.
