Certain medications can lead to false positives on drug tests for Demerol (meperidine). One notable example is the antibiotic diphenhydramine, which can sometimes cross-react in immunoassay tests. Additionally, other opioids or medications that metabolize similarly to meperidine might also produce false positives. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional or a toxicology expert for specific concerns regarding drug testing and medication interactions.
We need to know the concentration of how many mg per ml.
Effectiveness will vary from person to person. It depends on the dosages, the formulation, etc. However, I can tell you that the chances of you being prescribed Demerol by mouth aren't good. Most Md.'s will not prescribe Demerol tablets. You will probably be given oxycodone as a take home med.
i am a student and have just been assigned a 92 year old patient with an allergy to demerol and morphine. What would be safe for pain ?

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.
If that chemical occurs naturally, I'd think that the test would allow for latitude in that case. So, you probably took a medication that had amphetamine in it.
yes
yes, it can give the false positive up to 10 days after the injection. ~pawsalmighty What are you paying your doctor for?, He/she should be telling you all this.
What medication ?
if you did not take the medication then i would expect them to have mood swings their personality will completely change i would urge them to go to the hospital but it would depend on how long they did not have their medication.
This drug was synthesided in 1939. In 1980 the use for this drug for treating pain was common.
