no, they aren't looking for otc medications, they are looking for narcotics, illegal drugs, and benzodiazepines.

Nothing to worry about, unless you are ODing to try to get high. Normal doses will not show up at all.

I doubt they are testing for those chemicals, but if they are then it will definitely show up. Drug tests can detect the chemicals they look for in parts per billion, you don't have to take a large dose to detect it. OTC medicine can be found too, again only if they share an active ingredient with the drugs they are testing for. For example, eating poppy seeds will cause a false positive on a test for opiates.
