The Benzedrex is the most likely culprit. The drug it contains has a structure very similar to methamphetamine. Many decongestants often used to treat sinus problems are related to amphetamines so could possibly cause positivity in a drug test. With the Benzedrex having a structure so much like methamphetamine, that's the drug probably causing the test to come back with a false positive. Hope this answers your query.
