Hi Laura,

I found some information that might prove helpful to you in determining how this drug can cause a false positive:
http:/­/­www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/­pubmed/­4065768

I did find other "limited" information stating that it can cause false positives in other instances, but the information wasn't clear as to what specifically.

In any case, many places should allow you to present proof of a prescription prior to the screening; that way you won't be held accountable for a positive or false positive result. I would consider letting them know what's going on prior to your test, if you haven't already.
