The only way you can get a false positive is if you are taking drugs containing the Human Pregnancy Hormone. These are often found in drugs taken before/during IVF treatment but are very rare in other medicines. There are no examples of antihistimines causing a false positive, they do not contain any hormaones at all, let alone pregnancy hormone. If you have had a positive you are pregnant.

Q: Do any drugs or medications affect the test?
A: Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG) can affect the result (e.g A.P.L1, Pregnyl2 , Profasi 4 and Pergonal 4 ). The test should not be affected by hormone therapies containing Clomiphene citrate (e.g. Clomid 3 , and Serophene 5 ), alcohol, painkillers, antibiotics, or the contraceptive pill.
Congratulations!

Medication (pain relievers, antibiotics, etc.)
will neither delay a positive result, nor cause a false positive result, unless the medication contains hormone "human chorionic gonadotropin" or hCG. Some examples of hCG containing drugs are Profasi, Pregnyl,and Novarel. Only the presence of HCG could give a positive pregnancy result.

No medication that i can think of although a diuretic such as frusemide might give a false negative by diluting the hormone, human chorianic gonadotrophin, that the tests detect

You can't really get a false positive, however you can get a false negative. The hormone is either there or it's not.
Congratulations! :o)
