Can Omeprazole Cause False Positive Result For THC?
Good afternoon, I am a psychologist doing an eval on a client who tested positive on a UA for cocaine. She repeated the test and was negative. The client takes Omeprazole. I am researching to determine if this med. can give a false positive on a UA. I have learned that Omeprazole can test false positive for THC. Do you know of a research article or website that supports any of this - although it is not cocaine. -Charlotte
So far, I can tell that there are some research reporting false-positive results for cannabinoids after PPIs treatment. You can look for research at the biggest research library: PubMed. We all make the searches there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
All the best.
Regards,
