It's best to take nothing for at least a week prior to a pre-employment drug test. Be sure to list EVERYTHING you take if you can't wait at least a week.
False positives are NOT common, though. If someone does get what they suspect to be a false positive, you can ask for follow up, confirmatory testing done on that sample that will tell if it is a true pos. or not.
There are several but if they were posted, then people would
know how to beat the system & blame the herb! Many cold meds
otc have things that can affect testing but you'd have to look
ill at the time. Many states require you sign for certain OTC
meds because of impairment.
