Ephedrine, although chemically very similar to the amphetamines, should not show up on a drug screen as amphetamine. Although, ephedrine can be tested for on a drug screen separately (usually specifically requested).

No. Drug tests work by testing for certain chemicals that are found in drugs. The chemical "Methamphetamine" has nothing to do with chemical "Ephedrine" so will not show up on a drug test.

Can you test dirty from meth if your partner is using meth i have tested dirty twice and i know i have not use so please explain it?

it is impossible to fail for meth unless you are using the drug. Even if a few crystals were transfered in saliva it would still not be enough to show up. So there are one of two reasons. 1.) you are using meth. 2.) you are taking cold medicine or some other psyeudoephedrine/ephedrine containing medication. There are medications that have this chemical, but it does not make you high as meth does. Ephedrine is synthesized into meth, therefore it is the substance a drug test will test for.
