Hi Denise,

To my knowledge, any of the synthetic opiate medications (oxycodone, oxymorphone, fentanyl, etc) can test false-positive for other opiates/opioids as well, depending on the reliability of the drug test being used. However, on the cheaper drug tests, it seems as though anything is likely to show up no matter what you took.

At this point in time, the best advice I can offer is that you try to dispute your case by getting re-tested with a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. This method has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question, but is not initially performed because of cost. However, it is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time. I think companies who don't use this method right off the bat are just too scared to spend a little extra money for the right results.

Hopefully this will change in time as they realize the statistics showing how many people this happens to on a daily basis. If it's any consolation, at least you're not alone on this :)

I was in the ICU and was given a urine and it came back positive for cocaine ! I have never touched that or any other street drug . I was in the hospital due to high blood pressure and my kidneys shut down for the 4th time. I "was" in a pain clinic who had me on a lot of drugs. I am on oxycodone ,fantenyl patches ,lyrica ,ambian, elavil ,loratadine , and zanaflex. My personal doctor has me on zantac , amlodipine besylate , labetalol HCL , meloxicam and klor-con . I am told I have kidney disease . But now I need to get in another pain clinic ! Since I have never did cociane .please tell me why I got a false test after all these years. It has never happen before...thank you

Now I'm not positive but have read a few articles online saying kidney disease can cause a false positive for cocaine on a drug test.
