What kind of medication can cause a drug test to come up positive for amphetamines?

Question

I'm currently taking medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and for leg cramps. I also take ibuprofen and sinus/allergy meds over-the-counter.

Answer 1

i know some brand names such as "sudafed" but any over the counter that has ephedrineor pseudoephedrine-they will show as p[erformace enhancinng

Answer 2

Amphetamines are commonly found in ADHD medications, cold medications, diet pills and diet herbs. Also keep in mind that recreational drugs often go under different names and are frequently mixed. Ie. A pill of E might really be anything including amphetamines. A rollup of pot might be laced with amphetamines, etc etc. Often done to increase their addictive value - although even more dangerous to the user. As a final note - a positive drug screen does not = drug use. While a drug screen is very sensitive the specificity is usually very low resulting in many false positives. This is due primarily to the low prevalence of drug use. If you really aren't using drugs or using any of the above - you should request a rescreen.

Answer 3

Any of the illegal drugs containing speed, including some asthma sprays, steroids, diuretics, some antihistamines and also controlled substances like Ritalin, ADDerall, and Concerta.

Answer 4

pseudophedrine or ephedrine containing products can cause positive amphetamine results but the results will not be the same as if you were taking amphetamines and were tested.

Answer 5

depends on how many cycles the test goes through. it can pick up stuff on the first cycle that are rulled out in the second, but ask your doctor for more details, but if in my opinion it's the sudafed you're taking
