False-positives – what you need to know: Apo-Naproxen
When submitting a specimen for a drug testing, you are required to disclose all the medication that you are currently taking or had taken in the past week or month. The reason why it is important to provide all the prescription names is that sometimes drugs interfere with each other and a test results comes up “false-positive” for something you had not taken. The detailed list of prescription or over-the-counter drugs that may influence the drug test results follows below.
Last time we spoke about Aleve.
Today we will talk about Apo-Naproxen.
General drug information:
Apo-Naproxen is used for the relief of minor aches and pains, such as muscle, bones and joints pain; it treats the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis; relieves mild to moderate pain accompanied by inflammation due to injuries, such as strains and sprains, and other typical pains NSAIDs treat. The higher dosage of the drug (PO 1,000 to 1,500 mg) is release only by prescription.
Possible side effects:
Apo-Naproxen should not be used if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. It also may cause drowsiness or dizziness, especially when taken with alcohol. Do not take more than the recommended dosage or use longer than recommended by a physician; serious stomach bleeding or ulcers can occur when the drug is taken for extended period of time. Should be used with caution by children and elderly, not recommended for use while pregnant and breast-feeding.
Apo-Naproxen can interfere with the results of certain lab tests, so be sure to let lab personnel know that you take this drug. False positive drug tests results are more common that one might think, so prepare yourself and consider taking a Fast THC detox kit to make sure that your urine is free of any possible pollutants. As an alternative – synthetic urine will provide a clean, toxin-free sample for the upcoming drug test.
