Oh yeah....well... yes and no.
No, if you say you aren't on amphetamine, then you aren't. BUT the asthma medicines are pretty much amphetamine and WILL show up on the simple screening tests. A better confirmatory test probably will show it is a slightly different drug, but I cannot totally guarantee that. ALBUTEROL is pretty closely related.
