Can False Positive Pregnancy Result Be Obtained From Urine Test?
My daughter had her urine checked for a bladder infection and the doctor told her she is pregnant. Shouldn t that be confirmed with blood work? Can she get a false positive from the urine test? I am wondering because she takes Effexor and Seroquel. Can these meds cause a falst positive?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Seroquel and effexor does not cause false positive urine pregnancy test.
But urine test sometime give false positive result.
I would suggest to go for blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy.
Blood HCG test ti more accurate and reliable than urine pregnancy test.
So go for blood HCG test.
Drink plenty of water and juice of cranberry, maintain proper pelvic hygien, eat healthy diet, do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
