False Positive Urine Drug Test For Meth

Updated

I tested positive for meth in a urine drug test; however i have been clean for 3+ years. I'm currently taking prescription medications: omeprazole, hydrocodone/acetaminophen, escitalopram, tramadol, temazepam, lorazepam, sinvastatin,. OTC: aspirin, claritin and afrin. Can any of these medications be the cause of the positive drug test?

Yes, some of the drugs you are on, and in combination may cause a false reaction on a cup or card test, and even on EIA. That is why it is very important to have every non-negative, or Positive test CONFIRMED by LC/MS/MS or GC/MS. That is the only way to know for sure.

I believe that one of your medications for the seasonal allergies has pseudoephedrine in it or something very similar that is used as a nasal decongestant. This will cause false positives for amphetamines in some UA. I'm surprised you aren't aware of this, being a former meth user because most meth is manufactured using pseudophedrine. The chemical makeup is very similar and that's why its an easy conversion, but also why it causes false positives in some drug screens because of the similar metabolites generated in the body used for detection.
