What medications could easily lead to a false positive for amphetamine on a drug test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on screening tool. Many screening tests will detect a variety of amphetamine like substances - metabolites of ephedrine, (ephedrine sulfate) Pseudoephedrine or others of the substituted phenethylamine group - a very large group. If positive on screening tool, gas chromatography / mass spectrometry will confirm the compound and its metabolites. There are no false positive gc/ms.
