No; Concerta contains methlyphenidate which is a central nervous system stimulant. Methylphenidate in some cases can cause false positives for methamphetamine on drug tests due to it's similar chemical structure; it is more structurally similar to cocaine than the classical amphetamines.

No. Concerta contains methylphenidate. Methylphenidate is a central nervous stimulant in the same drug class as amphetamine, but it is more chemically related to cocaine. It can cause false positives for both drugs.
