Neurontin contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, it is an anticonvulsant, which has also been shown to help certain types of nerve pain.

And no, it is not known to cause false positives for any other drugs.

Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter medications?

This is for a family member. He was taking alleve and nyquil for tooth pain (possibly). He did have a root canal a few days later. Thanks for your response.

Maria, had he had anything done to the tooth, prior to the root canal? If the dentist used anesthetic to numb it, then that could explain the false positive. Some of the anesthetics they use are distance relatives of cocaine and could cause false positives for it.

Aleve has been known to cause a false positive for the THC in marijuana.

Nyquil has been known to cause false positives for quite a few other substances, such as: opiates, amphetamines, heroin, morphine and meth.

Is there a specific test for gabapentin? I was tested using a 10 panel drug screen, is there anyway for it to show up specifically in the ten panel urine drug screen?
