Does Robitussin-DM Cause A False Positive Drug Test Report For Methamphetamine?
Hi I am trying to find out some information. I recently had my children and my exes husband as well as my self drug tested due to my expectations husband s behavior. My children tested positive for meth but yet I did not nor did my exes husband. I was told that the medication my children were taking at the time could have caused a false positive for meth. I am trying to find out if that information is correct as I am trying to get a confirmation test done to prove it. But I was told I needed to seek professional help in researching this. Could you please get back to me with the answer. I have done research on my own that does state that children s Robitussin dm as well as the add medication concerta can cause a false positive for meth due to the base drug used to manufacture these medications. But I need confirmation of some form either email or a written statement from a licenced physician to confirm my findings. Could you please help me. Thanks in advance Alexis alexander
Robitussin does not cause false positive Methamphetamine test. It might be due to something else. Sometimes it will be due to health supplements you had taken early.
