Best Answer

Yes, many over the counter cold, Asthma, allergy remedies, diet pills can show up as positive in the drug test for various kinds of drugs. Cold remedies that contain codeine can cause a positive result for morphine. ibuprofen, contained in Advil, Nipping, and Mortin, can make a positive result for marijuana. Some additional over the counter medicines like Alka-Seltzer plus, Allerest, Bronkaid, Contac, etc.. may cause various kinds of drug test interactions.

Add the name of medication you use or do your own research.

Also you can ask the company doing the drug test to provide you a list of all prescription drugs, over the counter medications and foods that may interfere with the drug test results.
