How to Avoid Substances & Medications Causing “False Positives” From Creating Employment Problem Issues
False positive drug test results is a major problem. Why? Folks can lose their jobs or not get a job because certain substances or medications lead the analyst to conclude the subject has tested positive for something that he or she did not actually have in his or her system.
A study of 161 prescription & over-the-counter medications proved 65 of the drugs produced false positive results from a urine test. Urine tests are routinely used, say attorneys.
Inaccurate urine drug testing which can report false positive drug test results – an “epidemic” – prompted these tell-tale comments from Ronald Siegel, a well-known psychopharmacologist at UCLA, according to a report in the LA Times:
“The widespread testing and reliance on tell-tale traces of drugs in the urine simply a panic reaction invoked because the normal techniques for controlling drug use haven’t worked very well.
The next epidemic will be testing abuse.”
To counter this epidemic, help is here for normal people.
