Hello,

Antihistamines, analgesics, cough suppressants, and heartburn medications have been shown to cause false-positives in studies and case reports. False-positive methadone levels have been documented with diphenhydramine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
