Does Ranitidine Show Positive Results For Methamphetamine In The Drug Test?

I recently found out taking an over the counter ranitidine for my stomach could cause me to test positive for meth during drug screening. I work a job that is under strict government regulations and random drug screening. Is there a safer alternative other than tums, etc. that I can take?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Greetings!
Following your mistake of taking ranitidine for your stomach ulcer I believe rather you took methamphetamine I will suggest that you check in a nearby hospital let them set up a an intravenous infusion so as to flush the drug out from your system
In view of this I will advise you to always drink medications that are with labels
I hope this helps
