Is Marijuana Positive Due To Plaquenil Medicine?

I have tested positive for marajuana during a pre-employement urine test. I have never smoked or used marajuana. I was recently diagnosed with Mixed connective tissue disease. I have an elevated RA factor/ CK/ among other labs. I am taking 200 mg of Plaquenil. Could this cause a false positive and if so, where might I find documentation of this?

Hello,

Plaquenil does not give a false positive test for marijuana.

It might be due to other substances like any health drink or energy supplement.

You can repeat the dope test.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
