Will Taking Varenicline Tartrate Show Positive For Test Conducted To Check Hard Drug Intake?
I am currently taking varenicline tartrate tablets to quit smoking but I am about to get drug tested at work for hard drugs such as cocaine, ice, extacy and marijuana... it also tests for Valium. Would I show positive on a test from taking these tablets?

Hi,
It is unlikely that varenicline will cause a false positive reaction for any of the drugs that you have mentioned. Drug tests work by detecting the presence of the drug itself or its metabolites in the urine blood or other samples. The methodology and sensitivity of different tests varies. However, for the commonly used tests, you need not worry about a false positive reaction from varenicline.
