"A good thing to do prior to executing any home drug test or indeed taking any drug test in any setting is to make a list of any prescription and over-the-counter medications you take on a regular basis. If something goes not quite right with the test this could help to explain exactly what interaction may have occurred and indeed some prescription drugs can cause a false positive on the drug test. The test itself is not going to be able to distinguish between an illegal drug or a prescribed drug. I take very minimal medications myself just to use myself as an example. I am known to take over-the-counter Ibuprofen or Advil would be a brand name for arthritis. I take a generic multivitamin on a daily basis. I take Allegra D, a prescription allergy drug and I use an Albuterol Inhaler which is also a prescription asthma drug. The only medication I take that may or may not throw a false positive is the ADHD medication Strattera which in some random cases has thrown a false positive but 99% of the time does not. However, other ADHD and other medications may throw a false positive."
