Hi,
The tests don't work that way but you need to tell your physician what you are taking and not sell or give them away. The test is only a yes or no and detect, sensitively, any taken within the last 3 to 5 days. Hence, one pill 3 days ago will give a 'Yes' on the test and taking 10 pills a day will give the same result.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
