Question 1

what to do if i had a false positive on a drug test, is there a chance i'll still get hired?

Accepted Answer

Not if they think it: is positive.  Companies that operate ethically should have a drug testing policy that requires confirmation of any positive on a screening test.  The confirmatory tests, at this state of their development, DO NOT HAVE false positives.  If you tested positive, and they confirmed the test with a sophisticated method the way they should, it means YOU USED THAT SUBSTANCE. So I would say stop using.

Question 2

do e-cigarettes cause false positive drug test?

Accepted Answer

No: They contain no drug.

Question 3

will unisom cause a false positive on a drug test!?

Accepted Answer

No: It would be very unusual to have a false positive on a urine drug screen with unisom. In the rare chance this did happen, the confirmatory test would come back negative.

Question 4

Question 5

will belviq (lorcaserin) give you a false positive on a drug test?

Accepted Answer

No: You are safe in that regard, but depending on whether it is a urine test or blood test it can detect your prescription medications, if that is ordered along with the drug screen.

Question 6

could ibuprofen cause a false positive on a drug test!?

Accepted Answer

Mostly for THC: but ONLY on the screening test, and NOT on confirmatory tests.  If whoever is doing the testing only uses screening tests, and does not confirm the positive test with more sophisticated methods, they are not following generally recognized principles of drug testing and could be subject to lawsuits. The confirmatory tests can determine that the positive is NOT a substance of abuse.

Question 7

does xenical give a false positive drug test?

Accepted Answer

No: I know of no research that shows xenical can cause a false-positive drug test.  All xenical does is block some of the fat from your diet from being absorbed, thus decreasing your calorie intake.  This shouldn't cause either a urine or a blood drug test to become positive.

Question 8

can xenical cause a false positive drug test?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Given xenical's mechanism of action - blocking absorption of fat, it is unlikely that the drug itself would be highly absorbed and mimic any substances tested in a drub test.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: Not unless you are testing for cyanide.

Question 10

can pseudoephedrine sulfate result in a false positive drug test?

Accepted Answer

Pseudoephedrine: Yes, to stimulants such as meth, & also to ecstacy.
