Everybody's body reacts different to everything. The reactions that take place may stimulate different receptors and release a slightly altered chemical that stimulates receptors that are checked in certain types of drugs test. I know from first hand experience that Omeprazole(prilosec) can test positive for thc. But also be aware that a false positive can be from kidney/gallbladder malfunctions to.

Yes it sure can! Yesterday I had to do a urine drug screen for social services and I haven't smoked marijuana since I was in high school and I'm 31! The social worker showed me a faint line came up for thc. I was shocked. Even though she considered my uds negative she just pointed out to me that she could have marked it as positive. I was so angry and confused that I came home and went online and researched what could cause false positives for thc. Zantac was among a few other meds that can cause it. The night before my uds I had taken one if my husbands Zantac for heartburn. I think that it is ridiculous bc how many times has this happened to other ppl and have lost their child due to a false positive? I'm lucky I have a social worker who knew I was clean. I had never had a dirty uds prior to that one.

I can attest to the fact , which ever testing protocol the Veterans Administrations (my area) uses clearly indicates that Omeprozole can lead to false positives for THC and therefore the test should not be used for any other purpose but medical. If use for legal etc... confirmation must be ordered!

Will taking zantac show up positive for meth on a drug test?

Yes i am 100 percent sure that zantac can test positive for meth on a urine test. I recently was put on supervised probation, and was on this prescription for stomach issues. When i tested my probation officer said i was positive for meth. I knew that i had never touched the drug, and did some research. Zantac is not a methamphetamine but WILL test positive.


Can Paxil cause a false positive drug screen?

A number of things can cause a false positive drug screen. A screening test is generally inexpensive to run. Tests for specific compounds are generally more expensive. As a result, more people will get a false positive on a screening test than will get a positive on the more specific test. Still, it will cost a lot less money to run an inexpensive test and then an expensive test.

Does zanaflex cause you to test positive for benzo's?

Zanaflex, or better known as Tizanidine, has not been documented to cause false positive in screening tests for drug abuse. Hence if a positive result is registered for the psychoactive drug benzodiazepines, it is likely due to other medications taken by the user that are creating the false positive.
