What Causes False Positive For Methamphetamine In A Drug Test Report?
I had taken a drug test for my doctor, came up positive for meth. Is it possible that I failed because of eating methi seeds daily? Also I was very sick at time and was taking NyQuil for my coughing, was told it can also make you fail. I don t use meth, so I don t understand how this happened.

Hello,
Your test for meth was (false) positive most probably because of the Nyquil you have taken for cough as it contain drug that can cause false positive test for meth. There are other drugs also that can cause false positive for meth. You can go for more definite test for meth testing such as chromatography but that are more expensive.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
