Wiil Ranitidine Produce A False Positive For Methamphetimines In Hair Follicle Test And Where Is The Proof? (Page 2)

While I was pregnant I was prescribed to take ranitidine for heartburn. After my child was born I took a urine test that came up negative. Cps sent these sample off and said I tested positive for meth. I submitted to a hair test on my child and a nail test on myself. The results were positive for meth. The Metabolites were very low in both of us but the amphetimine levels were high, but I had ephedrine during the c section. Will ranitidine cause a false positive in a hair test and where is the documented proof? They have taken my newborn away from me its five days now without touching or seeing her. I am desperate to get my baby back. If a doctor responds please be willing to submit documentation in writing. Thank you to anyone with the answer.

Here is the radio interview: cbc.ca/daybreakmontreal/our-show/2013/03/19/family-lodges-complaint-after-baby-was-taken-at-birth. That would be amazing. Our next & last court date is April.3rd where the DYP is saying they are discontinuing the case.
After this we are just going to turn over a new leaf. I will address the court none the less & say my peace. I have a letter from the hair strand lab confirming my hair is being analyzed for the days in question. I spoke to a lawyer about going any further and she said because we signed a provisonary agreement we "admitted" our daughter was at risk of negligence. However we were willing to sign anything to get her back ASAP as we knew we didn't have anything to hide. I will mention this in court as well.
If your lawyer could do anything in writing to show that statement from Zantac or where I could find anything legit on it would be amazing.
I am happy we aren't the only
People this happens to. An hope we can make it known in order
For this not to happen to more innocent families.
I wish you the best & am sending your strength.

Mrs call I hope everything is going okay for you.
We are going to court on Wednesday. Where they will be discontinuing our case & I will be saying a few words to the court room. I just have a letter from the hair strand clinic saying my hair is in process of being tested for the months of January & feb. I wish I had more concrete paperwork about the medication.
I hope all is well, I will update when my 2nd results come In.
I am confident it will all be negative. Because the first test the DYP did was from
December to 6 months back. I didn't do drugs then and I didn't do drugs in January before my daughter was born.

Cps came to my house on Wednesday may 15th 2013! I also tested positive for meth...... I only have took prenates and the Zantac 150mili for the heartburn while I'm prego! They removed my children n I have NEVER touched or ever tried any thing like meth! I am so nervous about the lab paper when it comes back due to u guys saying it still came back positive for meth! I called Zantac corp. today and they 3 way to my doc with me and explained everything n said they would email documentation for court! I am praying this will be ok but how n the hell did a hair n nail sample come up positive they told me only the rapid would buy everything else wouldn't! There will be law suits filed for this there is no way this is legal!!!

My private hair test for the days DYP said I must have done meth (2 days before my labor) came back NEGATIVE!
The hospital also admitted that their urine tests aren't reliable or to be used in LEGAL OR MEDICAL circumstances!! The chem test needed to rule out actual drugs ISN'T AVAILABLE AT THE HOSPITAL I WAS AT!!!! Luckily thanks to my complaint and going to the media, the hospital has changed their entire protocol with things like this!!! Mrscall, I sent you an email I wanted to know how it all went! Glad it seems ok, is your file closed now?!

I can't file a lawsuit in Quebec. And Zantac told me, oh well it's ranitidine so, we can't do much. Keep fighting !!
I am putting it behind me and enjoying my family life!! People in hospitals & social workers really need to learn to work together. It's not out job to do all this research! I'm so sorry another person is going through this
Zantac should put their big boy pants on and put that warning out in the open!!!!

No. The l the only positive was that one unreliable urine screen when I went into
Labor. Everything after that was
Negative including both hair strand tests and two urine screens ordered by youth protection.

And after giving birth, I didn't have a need to take ranitidine anymore! Because I didn't have horrible heartburn.

Apparently this is still going on.... I failed a drug screen today and was removed from my job because I tested positive for methamphetamines. I've never used a drug in my life but take 300 mg twice a day for acid reflux!!!!! I paid out of my own pocket to take a second drug screening to insure my workplace that I am not a drug user. 8-13-13
