Can Lisinopril Cause False Positive In A Urine Drug Test?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Oct 2016
Question: My urine drug test showed codeine when I have not ingested codeine. I have serious Crohn's with active fistula The only other prescription I have (and take when I remember to do so) is Lisinipril. This is not going to go away. My doctor is angry but not as angry as I am. I cannot let it go and he won't listen to any info regarding this mess. Dianne Morris
