Unfortunately Ranitidine (Zantac) shows up in urine as a false -positive for Cannabis. This has meant that people fail drug tests through using it - it is best to avoid it if you are subject to random urine testing for drugs. This is the main one that I have come across through my work - however the site below indicates a whole range of products which may cause problems depending on the sensitivity of the test.

There are quite a few prescription drugs contain tetrahydrocannabinol. There is one drug called Sativex. It's commonly sold in a spray form, and is used to alleviate the pain in Multiple Sclerosis patients. There's another THC-containing prescription drug called Marinol, and is used anorexia in AIDS patients, and nausea and vomiting of patients going through chemotherapy. Both of the drugs I mentioned are FDA approved. I doubt that you have any of the diseases for which THC can benefit you. Therefore, I suggest you come up with a really good reason when your parents and the doctor ask you why you tested positive.

I am an MD. There is a prescription drug called "Marinol" which is pure THC. There are some other drugs that can give a "false positive" but most competent labs will send a positive screen for confirmation using gas or liquid chromatography, which should eliminate any doubt.

THC is not one that you will find in any prescription or over-the-counter meds, unless, of course you have a medical prescription for marijuana! Sounds like what ever you used to flush out your system didn't work. Don't smoke weed, and you will pass your drug tests.

I believe thc is only found in marijuana.
I suppose there is a drug that contains thc but doubtful you can get it without being a cancer patient. I think it's a highly controlled rx.

Not unless your pills contain THC! I really doubt that this could happen. If you did get a positive test and you haven't, it's just a false positive. Ask them to redo the test.

Yes since a large array of OTC and BTC drugs contain THC.
How about you don't somke pot, that way you don't have to worry what the test says.

All the drug tests I have had to take ask you to list any current medications you are taking. If you are on one of them, it will show up. If not, then you are busted!!

Yes, if not thc then others can show up especially from painkillers.
