PROVENTIL and THC drug test strips

by nedirtbikr, Feb 27, 2009 10:04AM

Tags: drugs, drug test, medicines, test strip, tests, Proventil

We currently monitor a teen for drug use. We use the urine test strips and they have been quite accurate for our needs. The teen occasionally uses a Proventil (albuterol sulfate) inhaler. Is there any chance that this medicine could register a false positive with the THC test strips?

Thanks!

No, Proventil should not show up or alter the results of a THC test.
