No.
Here is some information on substances that can cause false positive results for amphetamines or methamphetamine.
"... Methamphetamine is present in two different forms; “d” and “l”. Street
methamphetamine is predominantly d -Methamphetamine. The over-the-counter
medication, Vick’s Inhaler (and the Walgreen equivalent), contains exclusively the
“l” form of methamphetamine (the listed active ingredient is l-Desoxyephedrine,
another name for l -Methamphetamine). Although it is uncommon, the heavy use of
Vick’s Inhaler can cause a positive urine test for methamphetamine. The claim that
Vick’s Inhaler is the source of a positive methamphetamine test can be checked by
testing for “d” versus “l” methamphetamine. This test is performed by GC/MS.
