Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

-Androgel (Testosterone topical )
-Cialis (Tadalafil)
-Niacin
These three drugs don't interfere with a urine drug test ,so they won't cause any false positive result in a drug test.

Amitriptyline can interfere with a urine drug test and cause a fals positive result for LSD abuse (Lyseric acid diethylamine).
Since Amitriptyline is an Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA) , you may test positive for TCA in a urine drug test.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question or need any clarification.I would be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
