What Causes A False Positive For Methanphetamine?
Question: i am asking how a test can come back positive for methanphetamine when i dont do that drug
Brief Answer:
What medications are you on?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Methamphetamine is not only positive for persons who do drugs. There are several medications out there that can provide false positive results for this such as drugs used to treat cold and common illnesses. I will like to know all the medications you are on or have taken recently so as to pinpoint the origin of this false positive drug screen.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
