One's best source of information about Sudafed PE is a local pharmacist. They can usually answer any questions one may have. If one asks, a good pharmacist will even have printed material to offer for free.
No, sudafed will not show up as methamphetamine on a drug test. While its part in creating meth is most imperative it is only a mere part of the equation.
The difference between Sudafed and Sudafed PE is that Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine and Sudafed PE contains phenylephrine. While phenylephrine doesn't work quite as well as a decongestant, it is the most common decongestant ingredient in cold and sinus formulations, due to the fact that people were using pseudoephedrine to make the illegal drug methamphetamine.
No, Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) is not an anti-inflammatory drug; it is a decongestant. It works by relieving nasal and sinus congestion caused by colds or allergies by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, specifically reduce inflammation and pain, which is not the primary action of Sudafed.
In my professional opinion Buspirone is useless as an anti-anxiety drug. Sudafed can cause anxiety. I do not see why one would want to, but there is no problem doing it.
No, Dexatrim, Sudafed, and Claritin should not show up as methamphetamine on a drug test. However, pseudoephedrine, an ingredient in Sudafed, can sometimes cause false positives for amphetamines. It's recommended to inform the tester of any medications you have taken to avoid any misunderstandings.
In my experience you can fail for amphetamines after taking sudafed. Sudafed contains pseudo-ephedrine, an ingredient in the manufacture of meth-amphetamine. You need at least 72 ours to get pseudo-ephedrine out of your system.
It's not a very good idea to take Sudafed while on Cymbalta. They have what is called a "moderate drug interaction". Taking them together can mess with your blood pressure.
No it will not - at least not on the regular drug tests given to members of the public.If you are an athlete/sports-star you will receive an advanced test, and in these cases Sudafed will show up.But for the likes of you and me: No, Sudafed will not show up in a normal drug test.
yes it can produce false positive results. this occurs with tests that use antibodies that screen for amphetamines. sudafed contains pseudoephedrine that is similar in structure to amphetamines and therefore causes cross-reactivity with the antibodies directed against amphetamines. if a test is being done in a legal manner; e.g. a workplace drug screen, the initial immunoassay needs to be followed up with a more precise assay - usually GC-MS. This assay will be able to differentiate between sudafed and amphetamines
sudafed. anything with high levels of ephedrine in it
Sudafed PE, which contains phenylephrine, typically does not cause a positive result on standard drug tests. However, some drug tests can be sensitive to certain ingredients, so it's always a good idea to inform the testing administrator about any medications you are taking. If you are concerned about drug testing, consult with a healthcare professional for guidance.
cocaine is an opiate... sudaphed can produce positive results for amphetamines(cocaine is NOT an opiate (it is derived from the coca plant not opium), but I do believe sudafed would only produce a false positive for amphetamines)
