Does Metoprolol Show Up In A Drug Test?

default
Posted on Mon, 28 Dec 2015
Question: Can a beta blocker like Metoprolol cause a slight line to show up on a drug test?I weigh right at 300 lbs all fat. I recently took a 5 panel drug test and a faint line showed up for marijuana as well as a test for synthetic weed where a faint line also showed up. I have not used any illegal drugs in 18 months. Prior to that I smoked synthetic marijuana and ate a few marijuana seeds (only because I like to chew on seeds and my son told me there was no THC in them). I now live in a small camper that he was living in before me and he and his friends used to smoke out in there. Is it possible I'm getting it from the air vents or the oil he sweated on the futon or is it still in my system?

Brief Answer:
To my knowledge, metoprolol won't show up in a drug test as false positive

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query.
To my knowledge, metoprolol won't show up in a drug test as a false positive for something else. And if you declare the fact that you are taking metoprolol it should be fine because it's not a medicine which you would abuse.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
