Question 1

which herbal supplements cause false positive on a urine drug test?

Accepted Answer

I think NONE: I am not aware of any herbal supplement that consistently causes a positive urine drug tests.
Even poppy seeds which used to have false positives for morphine, do not typically find this now, because of the cut off levels.

Question 2

herbal supplements can give a positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

I know of no: Herbal supplements which cause a false positive pregnancy test.

Question 3

i got 2 positive urine pregnancy test, can a cyst be the cause why the urine tests is positive?

Accepted Answer

Think baby: A young woman with 2 positive pregnancy tests has a baby embryo or fetus, unless her doctor has proven she has no baby. False positive test results are rare. Pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by food, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a very reliable result by 3 weeks after sex, or 1 week after missing a period.

Question 4

why does my urine test says positive but my blood pregnancy test is negative i have adnexal cyst could that be the reason?

Accepted Answer

: Urine tests are very accurate. A  blood test can be neg if  done too early. Not related to your cyst.

Question 5

a couple weeks ago i took an at home pregnancy test and it came out positive. i have a iud so i went to the doctor next day & my urine & blood work was negative. im just curious what caused the positive result. she said my iud is also still in place?

Accepted Answer

: If you do not follow the testing instructions precisely you can get a false positive. Especially if you do not read the stick within the prescribed time. Another explanation could be that an early pregnancy was lost spontaneously as happens with about 30% of pregnancies.

Question 6

insertive vaginal sex.3 hiv non reactive ab rapid blood test at 4,8,12mnths.wbc at 12mnths was normal.cld occasionally consuming herbal supplements with efficacy to hiv cause false results?am i hiv free no matter symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: Assume the herbal supplement may reduce the viral load which I doubt, the antibody test should still be positive. You are asymptomatic with repeatedly negatives test results so you are safe.  You should practice safe sex for avoiding future concern.

Question 7

im having an eeg done i have epilepsy, should i stop taking sudafed, hydrocodone, & herbal supplements?  will they cause false positives on eeg?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Speak with your examiner to determine which meds should be continued or stopped.  The klonipen and geodon are more significant relating to the EEG

Question 8

can white blood cells or blood in the urine from a uti cause a false positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

No: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses (such as a UTI), sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 9

can some medications cause a positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Certain medications such as phenothiazine can interfere with test results. Women receiving hCG therapy to treat a luteal phase defect or other fertility problem should consult their doctor as to accuracy of home pregnancy tests and when testing should be performed. Occasionally urine can be contaminated with blood or gross amounts of protein leading to inaccurate results.

Question 10

can xanax (alprazolam) cause a false positive on a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

No: Xanax (alprazolam) does not impact either a urine or blood pregnancy test.
