What Causes A False Positive Drug Test For Methamphetamine During Pregnancy?

I am pregnant with my 4th baby and just was told that my urine drug test came back positive for methamphetimines. I ve never done drugs in my whole life and am only taking blood pressure medications and prenatal gummies. I take tylenol when needed as I have had severe migrains but I dont even like taking tylenol when in pain. What could be causing a positive drug test. I go in Tuesday to talk to my drs since it s a holiday 3 weekend

Hello,

False positive test for Methamphetamine during pregnancy can be due to intake of cold medicines, diet pills or drugs (opiates, marijuana, cocaine) & tobacco or alcohol. You are suggested to keep yourself well hydrated & get a repeat urine drug test to stay on the safer side.

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