Interaction with Drug Test???HELP!!! - Phentermine.com

sallyjean · January 29th, 2001, 01:43 PM

I just started phentermine and I have to take a drug test for work. I've heard they can cause false positives. Do I just show my prescription if this happens? Or do you know how long I have to stop taking it, before it won't show up in the test? If anyone could help me it would be a great load off of my mind!!

Thanks,
Sally

You don't have to stop taking phentermine. You're not doing anything wrong. Don't worry

It can (probably will) show a false positive for amphetamines. It doesn't matter as long as you have a prescription for phen.

Before the test someone usually talks to you about if you're taking any prescription drugs. Just tell the person you are taking the diet drug, phentermine. They might ask you to verify this. I'd just bring the bottle with me so you can show it there and not have to send something in later. It's no big deal and the bottle is proof of your prescription because it has all the information on it.
