Do Amoxicillin And Chloraseptic Spray Affect A Drug Screening Test Report?

my son is on probation and went to urgent care on Saturday for a sore throat he s had since april. son was diagnosed with severe step throat and heart murmur due to the case of the infection. son had to do a alcohol and drug drop on Monday, results came back negative but servellance office didn t tell him what they found in the results. he s currently taking amoxicillin and spraying his throat with chloraseptic spray. he s doing so well on probation that now being sick can cause him violation and jail time. Do any of these medication cause false readings?

Hello,

No these drugs usually do not cause false-positive results. However, there is a number of things that can cause false-positive results which include yeast, oil, seeds, milk, cough syrups, anti-diabetic drugs, and so on.

Contact your health care provider for details and let them know about the medication he is taking right now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
