Can prescription drugs cause a positive urine drug test result?
Yes, depending on the prescription medication. However, drug tests are typically conducted to determine recent use of an illegal drug, or misuse of a prescription drug. Results will be evaluated with respect to proper use of valid prescription medications that could be the cause of a non-negative drug test. If you use/used a valid prescription for the drug, the employer or their designated Medical Review Officer may evaluate this before declaring your results as non-negative.
