Taking Fluoxetine Or Prozac. Pregnancy Test Positive. Medicines Could Have Affected Test Result?
HI, i have taken two home pregnancy tests . Both showed positive results. I have recently started taking fluoxetine or prozac . I am wondering if it could have affected the results of the test. It is not impossible for me to be pregnant, but wasn t trying. Am not on birth control . I have had two miscarriages in past and am freaking out. Want a baby, but very nervous that another miscarriage may be the result.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Taking Fluoxetine or Prozac cannot cause a false positive result of pregnancy. These kits are 97% accurate. The two positive tests are likely to be accurate. You can confirm the findings by a blood test.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal
