Hi and thank you so much for this query.

This is very unlikely for metformin t cause a false positive on a urine test for a controlled substance. as for the other medications you take for COPD, I would like to have the names so that I can tell whether they could be responsible for any false positives on a urine test as there are several different medications being used for this condition..

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information if need be.
