A member asked:
Help can blood thinner affect my drug test for employment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It won't: Anticoagulants don't really "thin" the blood, they just make it harder for blood to clot. Employment drugs tests look for drugs of abuse, not anticoagulants. I am unaware of any false positive reports with these medications.
