What does false positive for tricyclic antidepressants in urine test mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False positive: A false positive means that the test shows positive, even though the reality is actually negative. Any test has a chance of generating both false positives and false negatives. However, tests are designed to keep those false results as low as possible.
