Brief Answer:
Asthalin inhalation can not cause positive drug test

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I am very sad to know what happened to you.
Rabium contains rabeprazole a proton pump inhibitor ( an acid reducing agent).Asthalin is a beta 2 agonist (bronchodilator).
Use of both these medication can not cause positive test for weed.
There must be some misinterpretation of the result.
You can request for the repeat test of the same sample (if it is remained)from a different lab.

Regards
