Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / June 2004Government drug test & prescription drugs: Risk of false positives?
I just learned that, for a contract job for the government, I may need to have my urine tested. I do not use any illegal drugs whatsoever. However, I am on a ton of prescription drugs: Zantac (Ranitidine) Toprol Zocor Depakote Zyprexa Remeron (Mirtazapine) Provigil Desipramine Ativan (occasional use only, and not recently) I also take Melatonin to help me get to sleep at night. Is there any risk that any of these medicines could yield a false positive in terms of indicating that I am taking any actually illegal drugs? Thanks in advance for all replies. > I just learned that, for a contract job for the government, I may need > to have my urine tested. I do not use any illegal drugs whatsoever.

What you do is this: you provide them with the list of prescription medications that you are taking. They should know of any potential false negatives. Then, if their tests indicate anything odd, you squawk like hell. Tara J. Ballance Montreal, Canada |
