Brief Answer:
It is most probably Zuralto
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Zuralto used for blood coagulation disorder may cause false positive for amphetamines, opioids and alcohol. In addition homeopathic medication also cause false positive for alcohol.
I think you need to contest properly that what you are taking and the possibility of false positive due to Zuralto and homeopathic medication.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
First of all I like to acknowledge that most of the doctors, specially pain doctors rely more on the tests and less on the patients. Although they have valid reasons to doubt the credibility of patient because of increasing prevalence of drug abuse but I think there is need to take flexible approach. I must assure you that on other aspect they are quite liberal and try to understand the patient perspective despite the test results. I am hopeful that meeting with your doctor will give you the desired results about decision following testing positive for methadone and oxycontin. In my view stand what you say and try to bring all details in knowledge of your doctor rather than concealing one or other part.
Regarding your statement "is it also safe to buy cut me off", I am unable to decode it. It will be appropriate if you can elaborate on this point.
Thanks and regards.
