Hello,
Nexium less likely can cause false positive results. Drugs like Amitryptiline, Bupropion, Diltiazem, Diphenhydramine, Ibuprofen, Metformin, Methylphenidate, Doxylamine etc.
It may be false positive results also, Amphetamine intake may sometimes give false positive results.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
