Ecstacy (MDMA or methylenedioxymethamphetamine) CAN HAVE MANY FALSE POSITIVES DURING A DRUG TRIAGE SCREEN FOR AMPHETAMINE-LIKE COMPOUNDS. Thses compounds are commonly found in OTC products for cough which contain decongestants, such as phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine. Some products are Nyquil, Allerest, Sudafed, anything with a "-d" suffix as Tavist-D. Also, certain diet meds such as Dexatrim/Accutrim may cause false positives due to the strong cross-reactivity of these compounds with assay reagents used for amphetamine triage tests. Anything such as Citrimax, HCA, bitter melon is actually a synephrine molecule and will cause a false positive.

What drugs will cause false positives on a drug screen?

if its in your system theirs no false positive. Actually several drugs can cause false positives in different categories on a standard drug test...such as any ephedrine containing product can show up as a positive for meth, so if you have been using weight loss/energy pills containing ephedrine or perhaps an asthma drug containing ephedrine you may show positive for meth on your drug test. Basically, just be up front and tell the tester all of the OTC and prescription drugs you are taking and they will do further testing if necessary to rule out any street drug/illicit use.


Will lotus leaf cause a false positive in urine tests?

No, there's no proof it does, there are certain shampooes and detoxificants that can cause a fake negative in a drugs test, they cost about £100 ($160) for a treatment, but to the best of my knowledge nothing can make a false positive as the drugs tests are based purely on compounds that only certain drugs contain eg THC in marijuana or BZP in ecstacy or LSD


What will give you a false positive result for marijuana?

A list of things about as long as your arm. Included are such benign drugs as advil, aleve, Motrin, Bayer Select Pain Relief Formula...basically, go to the pain reliever shelf in the drugstore. Everything on it except aspirin and Tylenol will throw a false positive on a marijuana screen. However, the tests have been refined to recognize these items, and they are ignored.
