Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Metoprolol is in the family of drugs called beta blockers and is used for high blood pressure, heart disease or irregular heart rhythm.
Pravastatin is in the statin family of drugs and is used for reducing cholesterol.
The classes of drugs that are tested for are: marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamine and meta amphetamine, phencyclidine, alcohol.
Your medication is not included in any of these groups of drugs that are tested so you can continue to use unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
If you are using any herbal medication or over the counter medications you should make sure that they area also aware of these meds as well.
It is possible to get a false positive drug test result, this means that though a person is not using a drug, the tests gives a falsely positive result because of some medication the person is using.
If this occurs then there are other more accurate tests that can be done.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
