Question : will cadizem/diltiazem cause a false positive for methdone
Brief Answer:
Not possible
Detailed Answer:
These medications are calcium channel blockers. They would not cause a false positive test result.
Lab instruments are very sensitive and would not confuse a calcium channel blocker for methadone.
