childless in tn Says:
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.

What is the doctors name that said ranitidine will show a false positive? I'm on probation and i haven't done drugs in four years and i requested a hair follicle test (because i tested positive for methamphetamine after taking ranitidine 150mg) and haven't received the results of it yet. Will it be positive also? Please help a.s.a.p.

No. I wouldn't worry if I were you. It's just the rapid screen urine cups, if you have issues, have them call the nurse at Zantacs number and record it on ur phone, bc they will not freely give information, they will just talk to Dr's to let them know. And as far as urine, doing a gcms lab test still will be false positive in large quantities. Mine said I was 69% d-isomer positive. {edited for privacy}. That was like 10 yrs ago...I take large amounts bc of gastric bypass surgery.

I have recently lost my three year old, not even due to drugs. However when I took the panel ua I tested positive for methamphetamine. I was told right then and there that is was because of the ranitidine, and have tested positive every time. If you were actually taking methamphetamine it would come back amphetamine and methamphetamine. These tests are pure bulls***, and after testing positive be prepared to be treated like you're a junkie or no good. It's scary that most trained professionals don't even know what type of interactions prescriptions they're are writing could have. It is truly ducking me.

I am 34 weeks pregnant and took zantac. I went to the hospital in early labor and a urine test was done. Sometime thereafter, the quality of my care decreased. The 2 nurses on the delivery floor pulled room curtain and closed door. My husband fell asleep. I would have to ring call bell for someone to come when an alarm went off. I was in excruciating pain and on iv fluids. These nurses left me in this room and made no rounds to check on my well being. So in the morning, the on call md came in, checked my cervix and said you have made no change your not in labor i am sending you home. He and nurse left room, came back and he said he was obligated to educate me about the dangers of my drug use. I was dumbfounded. Presumptive positive for methamphetamine. I tried to tell them i do not use drugs and as a nurse i know that certain rx medications are known to cause false positives. He said mam, lab tests don't lie. Stop using. He and this nurse continued to treat me like crap. I'm in tears begging them to listen to me but they continue to accuse me of drug use. They quickly discharged me. The nurse wheeled me out and my husband helped me in the van. I am depressed, scared of what will become of my baby girl when she is born. I have hypertension and hypokalemia but i am afraid to take my medicine because i do not know what type of lab result will come of it. I am not a methamphetamine addict. I have never used drugs, ever. I do not drink alcohol and i do not smoke. I'm so afraid.

EMT Says:
Hello friend let me tell you what happened to me at work yesterday. Surprise everyone got random drug tested. And guess who tested positive for Methaphetamine(me). I work as a EMT-Advanced, Assistant Fire Chief at my fire dpt. I too have taken Zantac(Ranitidine) since 1999 when I had a bleeding ulcer in my stomach. I've tested around 20 time's before and all were negative test u ntill this one. The lady doingv the drug test stated to me before we tested that Ranitidine has caused false Methaphetamine results in the past. And mine was positive this time to. I'm a father of 4 boy's married 13 years this scares the Hell out of me. I don't do drugs never had never will. Sad to hear this is happening to you and I'm sure many others like us. The FDA needs to step in and do something about this drug causing so much destruction on people's lives. They have the control over these drugs and need to come up with a better test to over look Rantidine. Good luck hope all goes well for you.

My story is a little different from all of you I think, I was in a pain clinic and took my meds as prescribed. But they gave me heartburn, so I took the generic for zantac, they did the monthly drug screen and said I showed 97% pure methamphetamine in my system. There could have been no way that was possible. For those of you who have lost your children I will pray for you because I somewhat know what that is like. This needs to be clarified because it is changing so many lives. God bless you. All I will pray for you all and please keep myself in your prayers.
