Does Ciproflaxin Or Mucinex Cause False Positive For Methamphetamine On A Urine Drug Test Report?
My husband took a urine test for work and it showed up with Meth. He does not do Meth. He has had a chest congestion and infection. He has been taking Mucinex and I gave him some Ciprofloxin I had left over from a prescription I had. Would either of these give a false positive for Meth

Hi,
Yes your concern is right. There are some medications which can cause false positive results for meth. Both of these drugs can cause false positive results. If you want to confirm you can request some different lab test as per the availability in your area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
