Yes, Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) can potentially cause a false positive for amphetamines in drug tests. This is because pseudoephedrine is chemically similar to amphetamines, which can lead to cross-reactivity in certain immunoassay tests. However, confirmatory tests, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), can differentiate between the two substances. If you are concerned about drug testing, it's advisable to inform the testing facility about any medications you are taking.

Can taking Sudafed and adderall create a false positive for meth?

Even if sent to a lab, it shouldn't show up as meth at all. The tests are broken down and they will look for the poisons that are used in meth. I have talked to drug counselors regarding this very thing and was assured this fact. Good luck. I would stop using the Sudafed if you are worried about it.

At the risk of violating federal medical privacy laws, are you on antibiotics? Most of them--especially ones with "cillin" in their names--will cause a false positive for cocaine. Also, strangely enough, tonic water--which contains quinine--will cause a false positive for cocaine, and Sudafed has been known to.A GC/MS system will be able to determine whether the drug you're on is amoxicillin, Sudafed, gin & tonic, or cocaine.
