A member asked:
Nitroprusside, can it cause a false positive for stimulants when and administered intravenously?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are certain medications that can cause false positives on drug screens, but nitroprusside is not one of them. If positive on a screen, there would be more detailed testing done. The "false positive" would be explained -- or confirmed as a "true positive.".
