Episode description
Author: Michael Hunt, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Like all tests, urine toxicology (utox) screens can have false positives
- Prescription medications such as demerol, antipsychotics, ketamine, and tramadol can all produce a false positive utox for PCP
- Over-the-counter medication such as dextromethorphan also mimic PCP on utox
