Medications &
Substances Causing False Positives
False positive drug test results is a major problem. According
to a report by the Los Angeles Times New Service, a study
of 161 prescription and over the counter medications showed
that 65 of them produced false positive results in the most
widely administered urine test. Inaccurate urine drug testing
which can report false positive drug test results has been
called an "epidemic" by Ronald Siegel, a psychopharmacologist
at UCLA. He has said that 'The widespread testing and reliance
on tell-tale traces of drugs in the urine is simply a panic
reaction invoked because the normal techniques for controlling
drug use haven't worked very well. The next epidemic will
be testing abuse."

Drug Tests Bring Worries Of Accuracy
ACLU complaints more than splitting
hairs

UR-INE TROUBLE Dr. Holtorf demonstrates
how common foods, prescription medications, and vitamin supplements
are forcing many non-users to falsely test positive, and shows
how drug users are able to easily pass these tests. Yes, even
with the GC/MS, there are often false positives. Dr. Holtorf
unveils the ugly truth about drug testing and explains how
you can avoid the devastating pitfall of a false positive
test.
Among the items reported as causing
false positive test results are:
- Pain relievers such as Advil, Nuprin,
Motrin and menstrual cramp medications like Midol and Trendar.
All drugs containing the widely used pain reliever Ibuprofen
are known to cause positive samples for Marijuana. Non-steroidal
anti inflammatories such as Naproxyn have cross reacted
in blind tests. These are often prescribed for runners,
sports injuries to joints, and those suffering from arthritis.
- Syva labs has recently reworked
its Cannabinoid test and claims to have eliminated this
problem. But a Science magazine article (July 8, 1988) lists
Ibuprofen as cross reactive. Under the new government guidelines
THC testing levels will be reduced to 50 nanograms. Many
more THC false positives can be expected in 1994.
- Dristan Nasal Spray, Neosynephren,
Vicks Nasal Spray, Sudafed, etc. and others containing ephedrine
or pnenypropanolamine. Over the counter appetite suppressants
which contain propanolamine. Most common nasal decongestants
can cause a positive reading for Amphetamines. As the cross
reactive list suggests at the back of this booklet, amphetamine
false positives are the most common. Recent articles in
the Journal of Clinical Chemistry ,Vol. 38 No.12 1992 and
Vol. 39 No.3 1993 warn that medications containing chloropromazine,
fluspirilene, and others may yield a positive when tested
for amphetamines.
- Vicks Formula 44M containing Dextromethorphan,
and Primatene-M containing perylamine as well as the pain
reliever Demerol, and prescription anti-depressant Elavil
test positive for opiates up to three days. Even Quinine
water can also cause a positive reading for opiates.
- Poppy Seeds such as the ones on
a bagel from your favorite deli, etc. The journal of Clinical
Chemistry Vol.33 No.6, 1987 reports: "the quantities
of poppy seed ingested in this study (25 and 40 g) may be
expected to be contained in one or two servings of poppy
seed cake. Therefore, poppy seeds represent a potentially
serious source of falsely positive results in testing opiate
abuse." Clinical Chemistry goes on to conclude: Not
only is it difficult to distinguish heroin or morphine abuse
from codeine, but dietary poppy seeds can give a strong
positive result for urinary opiate of several days duration
that is confirmed by GC/MS analysis".
- Nyquil Nighttime Cold Medicine will
test positive for Methadone up to two days.
- Antibiotics. Certain newly developed
antibiotics have cause positive samples urine tests. Ampicillin
is suspect. Amoxicillin has caused positives for cocaine.
- Diazepam tests positive for PCP
as well as the ingredient in some cough medicines, Dextromethorophan.
- Your own enzymes. A small fraction
of the population excrete large amounts of certain enzymes
in their urine which can produce a positive drug test. Dr.
John Morgan of the Dept. of Pharmacology of New York City
University writes: "A false positive test could occur
in some individuals because they excrete unusually large
amounts of endogenons lysozyme or malate dehydrogenase."
Dr. Morgan judges that natural enzyme interference may run
as high as 10% of positive samples.
- Black Skin. This is not a joke!
Those of African origin, certain Orientals, or pacific Islanders
might test positive for marijuana. Dr. James Woodford, a
toxicologist associated with Emory University labs hypothesized
the pigment melanin which protects the skin from the sun,
approximates the molecular structure of the THC metabolite
to cross react on the marijuana urine test. Dark skinned
Caucasians such as those from the subcontinent of India
could also read positive on marijuana tests. The body eliminates
some melanin in a dark person's urine sample.
- Passive marijuana inhalation. If
you attend a rock concert or ride in a car where marijuana
is smoked nearby, even if you do not partake, the second
hand marijuana that you might inhale may give your test
a positive result for several days.
