A member asked:
I recently took a total of 2 drug urinalysis for a job promotion and both came back as diluted could my medication of levothyroxine and pravasatin affect the results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urine test: Your urine will be very dilute if you drink large quantities of water/liquid before your test. A diuretic taken just before your test would have similar effects. Neither thyroxine or pravastatin have this effect.
