Hi odd question? My daughter in law had her baby on October 23,rd. Three weeks early first baby btw. Her ob Dr. For some reason tested her and my granddaughter when she was born and they both show positive for meth. ??? I m really confused about why they were tested and her answer is epidural injection causes a false positive meth test it s a proven fact? So is this true
Hi there, I have understood your concern and I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.First do not panic. There are various other medications that can give false positive tests when tested for methamphetamine. If the patient is on Dopamine- commonly used antiemetic in pregnancy, Metformin, analgesic like Tramadol, antic old medicines or any anti depression medicines, these can lead to false positive test. If the patient is almost sure about not consuming meth as such, then you should not worry. Please ask your treating doctor if any other medications are responsible for her false positive tests. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
