Can Slimquick Diet Pills Cause False Positive On Pregnancy Tests?

I was on Birth control for five years. My periods grew to be about two weeks apart, and I was being made to switch brands repeatedly. I have not gotten pregnant since I stopped using it about 9 months ago, and recently started taking Slimquick diet pills and got a positive test. Could the Slimquick cause a false positive pregnancy test?

Hi,
I would say it is highly unlikely that SLIMQUICK would case a false negative pregnancy test. SLIMQUICK does not mention all the active ingredients and concentration and it has been changing over years; it will be difficult to rule out its effect completely.
If you were my patient, I would suggest you to consult an obstetrician. Also would suggest against herbal medications like SLIMQUICK as there is documented evidence of liver toxicity with its use. I would rather recommend diet and physical activity for weight loss over such supplements. Hope this helps you. Thanks.
