Will Penicillin, Amoxicillin And Benzocaine Affect Hair Follicle Test?

These medicines will not affect your test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand you are very apprehensive about the hair follicle test.
In the United States, employers that follow SAMHSA testing guidelines generally test for five specific classes of drugs.
These drugs are:
Amphetamines (methamphetamine, amphetamines, ecstasy(MDMA))
Cocaine (Powder and "crack" forms)
THC (marijuana, hash, edible cannabis products)
Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)
Phencyclidine (PCP, XXXXXXX dust)
Alcohol is occasionally tested for in addition to the above drugs.
Private employers may opt for an expanded test that screens for additional additional drugs.
The most common additions are:
Barbiturates (phenobarbital, butalbital, secobarbital, downers)
Benzodiazepines (Valium, Librium, Xanax)
Methaqualone (Quaaludes)
Methadone (a drug used to treat heroin addiction)
Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds)
The following drugs are detectable in a hair test, but are only rarely tested for
Hallucinogens (LSD, mushrooms, mescaline, peyote)
Inhalants
Anabolic Steroids
Hydrocodone (Oxycodone, Vicodin)
If you have not used any of the above, then there is nothing to be apprehensive.
Best wishes,


You are welcome
Detailed Answer:
You are welcome and be relaxed.
If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry.
If there are no further queries, you may close the discussion and record your comments.
Best wishes,
Dr. Noble Zachariah
