If you're legitimately concerned that your OTC/prescription medication will make you fail a test, don't worry; they can tell the difference. Just let the tester know what you're actually taking.

If you were hoping to disguise your use of illegal drugs by claiming to take some OTC/prescription medication, worry a lot. They can tell the difference. Unless you're actually taking prescription amphetamines, in which case, just produce the prescription.

Can over the counter drugs cause a false positive for adderall?

No. Adderall shows up on a drug test as methamphetamine (essentially no different than if you were doing meth). This is because the product contains amphetamine salts. But because amphetamines are PRESCRIPTION ONLY, you will not find them in any over the counter drugs.


What over the counter sinus medication would most likely result in a false positive of amphetamines on a urine drug screen?

OTC (over-the-counter) medications such as decongestives that have Epinephrine or Ephedrine in it. If you don't have to ask the Pharmacist to get the medication for you and you were able to get it off of the shelf yourself, then you have nothing to worry about. All medications that can cause a false positive like this are behind the Pharmacist's counter.

Can prescription medications cause liver failure?

It depends on the medication. Some medications harm the liver and others don't; whether they are prescription or not is irrelevant. For example, paracetamol (Tylenol) can immediately destroy your liver and kill you if you take too much, whereas morphine (a prescription painkiller) will never cause damage at any reasonable dose.
