Yes, Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) can potentially cause a false positive on a urine drug screen (UA) for amphetamines. This is due to its chemical structure, which can sometimes be misidentified by testing methods. However, confirmatory tests, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), can differentiate between pseudoephedrine and actual illicit amphetamines. If there is a concern about false positives, it's advisable to inform the testing facility about any medications taken.

Most cough products which contain decongestants (pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, synephrine, phenylpropanolamine) can cause false positives with methamphetamine drug triage tests. The amount necessary which could cause a false positive depends on the detection sensitivity of the specific analyzer being used (they have different detection thresholds).

Cyclobenzaprine is not typically known to cause a false positive in urine drug tests.

If you have concerns about a urine analysis (UA), discuss them with your doctor for personalized advice.
