Had Flu, Ended Up With Pneumonia, Positive Cocci Bacteria In Blood Stream. Used Vicks, Sudafed. Will This Give False-positive For Methamphetamine?
I had a false-positive drug test for methamphetamine-have never even seen this drug, much less put any in my system. I had been taking several OTC meds and need to know if they could produce this false-positive test? I had been sick for 8-10 days with what I thought was the flu or a cold. ended up in hosp with pneumonia and gram positive cocci bacteria in blood stream. had been using vicks inhaler and taking Sudafed for symptoms. would any of this produce this crazy false positive test.

Hello,
Methamphetamine is a psychostimulant drug.
This drug is an addictive drug.
If only you have used it then the result will be positive.
So false positive is caused by
Liver and kidney disease.
Ibuprofen, B12 are some drug which can cause false positive.
