What Causes False Positive For Amphetamines And Methamphetamines In Drug Screen Report?
I took a drug screen for my pain doctor and it came back positive for amphetamines, methamphetamines, and coca in but I do not do those drugs and now they will not give me my pain medI cation any more. How could this be if I don t do those drugs and I know I dont. How could this be? Why?

Hi,
It might be due to some health supplements or over-the-counter natural painkillers which might contain Amphetamine as a secret ingredient.
You can repeat the test after two weeks and reassess.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
