Very disoriented falling took to er test showed anemia low pot. positive for amphetamines never done drugs in his life why did it show this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False Positive: Most tests done in motion are less than 100% accurate. Also there are certain drugs you might be taking that can cause a test that shows positive for amphetamines. Certain cold medicines particularly Sudafed would test positive for amphetamines.
