Are there any legal prescription drugs that contain the same chemical make-up as methamphetamine? I took some diet pills that a friend gave me and they showed up as methamphetamine on a drug test.
What prescription drugs contain methamphetamine?

Hello Concerned employee. I believe the diet pills you took are phentermine and will show positive on a drug test. Best of wishes,pledge

No prescription drugs contain methamphetamine. It is an illegal drug.

I didn't say that. The person took which I'm guessing was phentermine, (perscription diet drug) which showed up.

Oh pupie, no need to apologise. But if you're going to respond to the member posing the question, I might suggest you do so. Answering it as a question, not adding on to my comment. And certainly we learn so much from each other. Good health!!!
