Can you get a dirty urine from Benadryl or generic Nyquil gel tabs?!


Question: I have heard that some cold medications might show up for methamphetamines, and the liquid Nyquil for alcohol.


Answers: I have heard that some cold medications might show up for methamphetamines, and the liquid Nyquil for alcohol.

No, I used to have to test over 100 people a day and unless you are taking 5 times the recommended dosages, it will not be picked up a urinalysis. Although there are traces of these elements in cold medicine, there is not enough to trigger an alert on a urine test.

Well, one of the ingredients for Meth is certain types of cold medicines and NyQuil does have alcohol.... so yes.
The major thing is, if you have a drug test, make sure you tell the person administering it (at the time you take it) what drugs/prescriptions, supplements, and OTC (over the counter) products you have taken and that will help to remove any problems. I specifically say to tell them before they test you because if you tell them after they say they found ___ in your urine, it sounds more like an excuse or like you're trying to cover up taking something.
