What about the D part of Claritin D , it's pseudoephadrine a decongestant?
Yes, and a precursor to methamphetamine.
wait, i dont understand, so what does that mean that claritin-D24hr WONT have a positive test result for methamphtamine, But Claritin-D CAN, possibly test positive for Methamphetamine?
Thats akward?
confused and suprised from TEXAS.
and if so, what is ur opinion on loratadine tab ?
Sorry - my first answer was incorrect. Claratin - D 24 contains an anti-histamine and a decongestant - pseudoephedrine. Any drug which contains pseudoephedrine in it can give a false positive for methamphetamine.
See: http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/83/1/66/T3.expansion.html
Sorry about the confusion.
oh okay well thankyou and so does that mean that the same thing happens with Loratadine?
Loratadine is also an anti-histamine. It should not give a false positive for any drugs test.
it shouldnt, but it could?
see this is scary,
i diddnt know that carried similar chemicals if thats what u can call it,
hellOoo mGTZ~
Knowledge is power. If you feel confused, look up the words:
loratadine
pseudoephadrine
... THEN draw your own conclusions. I find by looking up meds/chemicals, I have a solid base to go on instead running in circles depending on others.

One more thing quickly... "false positive" is confusing to some people ... in other words...
If you have a drug screening test done, Clartin D, and its ingredients may cause you to test positive for amphetamines. When infact, you only took a allergy medication... To avoid problems, I would wait till after the drug test, if you have a choice in the matter. If not, get ready to explain.
