What Causes Presence Of Opiates In Urine Screening?

default
Posted on Mon, 14 Jul 2014
Question: Hi, i had performance anxiety earlier in the year and tried using kamagra and eros horny goats weed at times. This seemed to sort the problem. I now perform as in the past without taking these formulas.
I had a urine screening test for a job promotion which showed up opiates.
Would the fact that i have previously used these have any relation to this.
I should note that i have never used illegal drugs.
Many thanks

Brief Answer:
those products don't have opiates.

Detailed Answer:
Presence of opiates in urine screening suggests you may have ingested opiates through some means. Kamagra and eros horny goats weed has NO opiates contents. Therefore those should not be related.

Did you take any cough syrup forumula? Do you drink alcohol? Are you on any other pills? Did you use any painkiller over the counter. Please let name those drugs.
so it may other route by which you ingested opiates.

Awaiting your response...

Thank you

Thank you doctor.
I have taken nurofen at times due to injuries or soreness after sport.
I use sommac for reflux and micardis for high blood pressure daily but being prescribed by my doctor I never contemplated these to be an issue.
