Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I do not think fentanyl taken year back still showing positive results on testing. The stored medication in fat cells eliminated well within three months and there is good possibility that you have false positive tests.

In regarding to flushing out immediately there is no method exists on current date. There is some data to suggest that plenty of fluid intake and regular exercise in addition to keeping away from all forms of medications and substances may help you.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
I understand

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

Although you may argue that it is due to fentanyl stored in fat cells but most likely they are false positive results. In my opinion fentanyl trace after one year of use is less common in compare to false positive results.

I will request you to name the medications, if any which you are taking over the last one year or longer. This may help us to identify the possible reason for false positive results.

I look forward to assist you further.
Thanks again.

Brief Answer:
Hydroxyzine could be the cause for trace positive results

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

Among the currently used medications Hydroxyzine is one often implicated for false positive results for opioids.

There are some reports about false ziprasidone causing false positive results for opioids although no conclusive evidence present on current date.

In my opinion request for higher level of testing such as gas chromatography rather than the simple EIA techniques.

I hope this will help you.
Thanks and regards.
