Brief Answer: hope this helps Detailed Answer: HI False positive drug results can occur in 5 % up to 10 % of persons who have these tests done. The accuracy of a test depends on the assay (lab detecting method) and the substance being investigated. These false reaction may occur because the breakdown products of the medication interact with the test. Potentially false positive results are subsequently followed up using a more accurate testing method ( the GC-MS lab method).
