Yes, certain drugs can affect the results of urine drug tests. Lortabs are narcotics, and other pain medicines may be narcotics, and these will show up in a urine test. Clonazapin may also affect results. When you have a test for drugs, you should tell the people doing the test all the drugs that you are taking by prescription, or have a note from your doctor about them. That way they will know if a positive test comes back, that this was prescribed for medical reasons. Hope this helps.
