Can Aleve Show False Positive For Methamphetamine In A Drug Test?
My husband is in hospital for pleural effusion and had a positive methamphetamines drug test. He has never done any drugs and gets drug tested weekly for work. What can cause a false positive? He had Aleve and took a stool softener before we came to hospital. He does chew tobacco

Hello,
Aleve does not contain methamphetamine and does not give and positive test. It might be due to some other medicines or supplements he has taken in the past.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
