General & Family Physician, Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal's Response

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

No, the morning after pill will not cause false positive drug screening results.
Some of the medications that cause false positive results for methamphetamine include antidepressants like amitriptyline, welbutrin, allergy medication like benadryl, NSAIDs like Advil, aleve, ADHD medication like Ritalin etc.

Hope this answers your questions
Please let me know if you need further clarifications
