Can Albuterol Cause A Positive Methamphetamine Drug Test
Updated
doc Says:
I take prescription drugs and came up recently with a positive urine test for methamphetamines. Could any of these have caused this? I take bupropion 100mg 3xday, albuterol inhaler, also due to coughing I have been taking nyquil liquid cold medicine, and oxycodone 10-325 every 6 hrs for pain. I was also taking Lyrica for fybromylagia?

This is a complicated issue and should be addressed by a MRO. A Medical Review Officer (MRO) is a doctor trained to look at all the prescription etc... to see why something is causing a false positive for Methamphetamine. You can find an MRO in your area at their association web site aamro.com. I have no affiliation with the web site. My best professional guess is that the albuterol could be causing this. Also you might consider doing your own Hair Drug Test. It is better at rejecting false positives than a urine drug test. A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, would go back 90 days. In regards to the urine drug test, was it confirmed by a GC/MS lab test?? If not then the results might not be valid. As I said it is a complicated issue.

Failed a urine test for methamphetamine a month ago. Where do I start? I don't do it. But I'm on a lot of drugs from different doctors.

I tested positive for methamphetamines but I haven't done any if that in over a yr. I'm currently on klonapins and albuterol inhaler for asthma everyday. Could these possibly cause me to fail my test
