Can Advil And Ibuprofen Give False Positive Test Results For Cocaine In The Urine?
Question: My name is XXXXXXX Recently I was forced to take a urine test in search of any Cocaine. Never have tried Cocaine (well maybe back in my fraternity days, over 38 years ago). Shocked but upon looking further into
current medicinal repertoire I have found that some evening possibly many of my medications may cause A
False positive result for Cocaine on a urine test. My extensive list is long but I wii give you most of them.
Please note the following medications: Xanax, Adderal, OxyContin, Cyclobenzaprine, Ibubrophen,Issentress,
Epzicom, Wellbutrin, Temazapam,Tylenol, Advil,Benadryl, Zantac,Gabapentin,Amoxicillin,Motofen,Virtussen,
Advil PM,Cyanocobalamin,Quitiapine,DOK,Altorvastatin,Nitroglycerin,Testerone,Fentanyl Patches,Australian
Dream,Mucinex,etc. My diet is for the most part 100% Organic, Many of my breads contain poppyseeds.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank You, XXXXXXX
