Hello,
It is possible to get certain metabolites in the body to be converted to similar compound as of probenecid as probenecid is a prodrug, converted to the active compound in the body via metabolism.
It is not the drug, but the chemical reactants similar like to Probenecid are giving positive lab tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
