I would like to help but don't know what you are referring to. Please explain what a UA is and I'll try to help.
If you have questions about meds. your child is taking talk to your doctor. And you should tell your doctor of a medical tech. about any and all meds. you or your child takes before medical tests. And, yes, OTC meds. like Imodium are medications.
