Substances causing "false" positive for methamphetamine?


Any new info about substances causing a false positive for Methamphetamine? I saw a suggestion that Vicks inhaler can cause a positive for one type of meth? I have one court client who insists she doesn't use, although I've always been told that, unlike amphetamines, NOTHING tests positive for Meth. Info?

She told you she's using Vick's, or you're looking for things? Yes, there are things that can cause a false positive for meth. Ephedra is a big one. It's found in a lot of over the counter diet pills. What I'm wondering is, why someone who insist the test is wrong, hasn't told you what they're doing, or taking, that could be causing it. Seems like the first, and most logical thing, an innocent person would do. YOU have to look for what it could be? If that's what you're doing, I want you to be my lawyer if I'm ever in trouble.

Sounds like someone may be trying to cover? If she is in a leagal position, they will take blood, and you can't interefere with blood tests!

"No-Dose" will give a false positive for speed

Legally Prescribed Forms:
Methamphetamine: Desoxyephedrine, Desoxyn, Methedrine, Vicks Inhaler (non-prescription drug). Selegiline, Benzphetamine and Famprofazone are converted to methamphetamine in the body.

Vick's Vapor Inhaler main ingredient is lev-metamfetamine notice the spelling is different, but the test doesn't know the difference. Ritalin will cause a positive test for meth as well, ritalin is prescription meth for ADD patients. Anyone who is in law enforcement would tell someone in trouble for meth not to use the Vick's Vapor Inhaler as the test will be positive and there's no difference.

First off, what kind of test did they do? Normally, the first test is the Enzyme Multiple Immunoassay Test (EMIT). This test is known to sometimes produce false positives. Did they follow up their first test with a second one? Good labs will verify their results using a Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) test.

Substances that could possibly cause a false positive
- Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, propylephedrine, phenylephrine, or desoxyephedrine (Nyquil, Contact, Sudafed, Allerest, Tavist-D, Dimetapp, etc)
-Phenegan-D, Robitussin Cold and Flu, Vicks Nyquil
-Over-the-counter diet aids with phenylpropanolamine (Dexatrim, Accutrim)
