Are There Medicines That May Cause A False Positive On Nicotine Test?
What are any medications that will cause a false positive on a nicotine test? I have read to cut out broccoli, cabbage, mustard, garlic, almonds, and horseradish. I am also on several meds and I do not want to fail this test or I will no longer be covered for insurance. I never went through one of these, but I have heard of people getting false positives and I want to stay far away from those. My current meds are my main concern, any advice?

Dear patient
No medication would interfere with your nicotine test. Nicotine is unique chemical and usually not confused with other drugs. So unless you have habit of taking nicotine you need not to worry.
