I’m currently on 45 mg of Tirzepatide. I have to drug test for my new job on August 8. Dumb question, but can this drug cause false positives ? If so, I’ll stop and then start again after on August 8


Please tell me this is a typo. 45mg?? Per week??JAYB820 said:I’m currently on 45 mg of Tirzepatide.

No lol that’s the vial I got. I mix it with bac water to dilute it obv.Glowworm said:Please tell me this is a typo. 45mg?? Per week??
It shouldn't come up on a drug test.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought maybe you were setting a world's record for the dose.JAYB820 said:No lol that’s the vial I got. I mix it with bac water to dilute it obv.

Even if it did .. its a legal substance. If it triggers a false positive of anything it would be the natural hormones that your body produces on its own. Long story short .. don't worry about this at all. Drug tests they give you for employment are only looking for narcotics.JAYB820 said:I’m currently on 45 mg of Tirzepatide.

Unfortunately some people have really gone heavy handed with their doses. And you dropping that 45mg like that really makes our eyes pop out .. and I'm just a noobie.JAYB820 said:No lol that’s the vial I got. I mix it with bac water to dilute it obv.

Like others have mentioned, you should refer to your dose, not the vial it comes from.JAYB820 said:I’m currently on 45 mg of Tirzepatide. I have to drug test for my new job on August 8.

Even if for some weird reason it did show up (which it won't), it would be like metformin or some high blood pressure medication showing up, i.e. nobody would care.ZippityDooDah said:I always find this question puzzling.
There are a couple thousand drugs listed in the USP and most tests are looking for maybe a dozen max so why does anyone think that diabetes medication would be something they're looking for? "Hey Marv, let's skip opioids on this test and instead see if this applicant is trying to get skinny because we sure can't have that!"


Because a lot of medications can cause false positives.ZippityDooDah said:I always find this question puzzling.

Metformin can cause false positives. So yes, they very much can carepeptidepower77 said:Even if for some weird reason it did show up (which it won't), it would be like metformin or some high blood pressure medication showing up, i.e. nobody would care.

False positive for what?Peotidethrowaway said:Metformin can cause false positives. So yes, they very much can care

Methamphetaminepeptidepower77 said:False positive for what?

If metformin makes someone test positive for meth then there is something seriously wrong with the test. They aren't related at all.Peotidethrowaway said:Methamphetamine

OK, so it wasn't just my eye that thought that was a weird number for Tirz.Garbo said:Unless I missed it, it's been three or four days and the OP still hasn't told us what dose they are taking and I can't help but wonder if they know
Also… a 45 mg vial ?
