Can metronidazole gel affect false positive pregnant test? help please

May be not: Not at all! pregnancy tests are looking for the presence of hcg, a hormone that is only produced during pregnancy. Antibiotics will not cause your body to secrete HCG if you are not pregnant, so there is absolutely no possible way that they could cause a false positive.

No: Metronidazol will not give a false positive pregnancy test under any circumstances.
