False Positive Drug Test For Cocaine
UpdatedI am a type 1 (Insulin dependent) Diabetic and recently had a bladder infection and oral surgery performed. My doctor/dentist prescribed the following medicines for each: Doctor - Amoxicillin; Dentist - Tylenol 3 with codine. My job performed a urine test that came positive for cocaine. I have been told to not return to work. I do not use any drugs other than the ones all my doctors prescribe and with my medical history they are many.

Both amoxicillin and having diabetes can cause false positives for cocaine. You should bring this to your employer.
The oral surgery you had absolutely caused you to test positive for cocaine! Your Dr. that performed the surgery can confirm this with your job that gave you the drug test! The anesthesia they give people before any surgeries can and certainly does cause false positives for cocaine. You should be fine. Tell your employer this and call your Dr. so you can prove it.
