False Positives On Drug Tests

Updated

I was told I failed a drug screen and must take all medications in to check them. I take advair, ipratropium, and albuterol inhaler for asthma. I also take allegra D and benadryl for allergies. I sometimes take an over the counter diet pill called phentramin D. Would any of these cause false positives on a standard UA?

What did you fail for? Was it opiates, amphetamines, or something else?

The Diphenhydramine in Benadryl can cause false positives for Benzodiazepines, PCP and tricyclic antidepressants.

It could also be something in the Phentramin_D, but I can't find a listing that includes the exact ingredients. Do you happen to know what's in it?

I have been accused of using meth because I took a allegra D . It was a the ingredient that is not in the over the counter type that caused the false positive for meth . So if you have to drug test be sure to tell the Dr if you took any precription strength allegra D .

I'm assuming you've figures this out, but the opiates are the tramadol and hydrocodone. I've read multiple things tonight say albuterol can false positive for methamphetamines.
