There is nothing in the product information for Maxzide that indicates the possibility of a false positive on a pregnancy test. Also the drug is a diuretic, which pulls fluid from the body, thus diluting the urine. Since a pregnancy test relies on the presence of hormones in the urine to indicate positive of negative, use of a diuretic may cause a false negative rather than a false positive. If you think you may be pregnant, and you take a diuretic on a routine basis, I would encourage you to see your doctor soon. The use of any medication, especially those taken on a daily basis, should be okayed by a physician familiar with you and your prescriptions. You could also get a musch more accurate blood test to determine pregnancy. Good luck! Mr. Dog RN (I am a nurse, not a doctor, and I don't know you from a hole in the wall.

Minocycline is an antibiotic that is not known to cause false positive results on pregnancy tests.

However, if there are any concerns about medication effects on pregnancy tests, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
