Drug test

[JAYB820]

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?? 😬
It shouldn't come up on a drug test.

No lol that’s the vial I got. I mix it with bac water to dilute it obv.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought maybe you were setting a world's record for the dose. 🤣

 

[TTRich]

Unless someone is specifically testing for tirz, it won't show up.

 

[Wellwell]

Since you have shocked us all with the 45mg statement what is the actual amount of mg you take a week? Not units but mg.

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.

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.

Sooo .. just to be on the safe side .. how many doses are you getting out of that 45 mg vial?

Like others have mentioned, you should refer to your dose, not the vial it comes from.
Besides, your body makes GLP and GIP molecules on its own.

What are you worried about it flagging as a false positive? Do you use other drugs and are just looking for cover? 😂

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!"

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.

Just for giggles. I took a nicotine test at work last week for insurance purposes. It came back negative. Tirz didn't trigger that one. 😍

Most employers are doing 12 and 14 panel tests for employment. Even a 32 panel drug test doesn’t care if you are on GLPs. Employers are looking for commonly abused drugs like marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and opiates. The only effect Tirzepatide would possibly have on a drug test is its potential to slow down absorption of something else that was taken orally.

The only peptide I’m aware of that will create problems is Dermorphine.

Because a lot of medications can cause false positives.

Metformin can cause false positives. So yes, they very much can care

False positive for what?

 

[Peotidethrowaway]

False positive for what?

Methamphetamine

 

[peptidepower77]

Methamphetamine

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

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?

OK, so it wasn't just my eye that thought that was a weird number for Tirz.

I'm hoping that what he REALLY meant was his dose was 4.5mg. While that might be a small dose it is far better than a mega dose.

Methamphetamine

Google says it’s possible with Metformin, but not likely. In my “retirement” I do safety/accident investigations for large corporations. I’ve never seen this on a 12, 14 or 22 panel drug screening. Wellbutrin is the only non amphetamine I’ve seen do it and have never had someone taking it without a prescription. Tirzepatide isn’t going to cause a false positive on these tests.
