Can Cocaine Metabolites Be Used By Lidoderm Patches?
I just had a positive urine for cocaine metabolites; I do NOT use cocaine.. could this be from using Lidoderm patches? I had also been using cold medicine. They kicked me out of Pain Mgmnt, is there anyway to get a letter from the mfg of the patches to help clear myself if they can cause a false positive? I do not want this in my records. Thank you for any advice..what else could cause the false positive?? I was floored when they told me

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the positive result may not show the presence of specific drug but it shows the group of drugs that falls in this category of narcotic and it may be anything that must have been used by you, some time analgesic and cold medicines shares the same property, it may be false result and that can be challenged hope this information helps.
