Pyridium and drug screens?

[headbanger4eva]

I've heard Pyridium ( used for urinary tract infections) can help pass drug screens. My Mother was in a Methadone Clinic and she had it prescribed and they wouldnt send her pee off to the lab because they said it caused false negatives. It colors your pee dark orange as if you poured food coloring in it....has anyone ever heard of this helping with piss tests?

It doesn't work and a collector told me that if someone takes pyridium and then gives a sample that has pyridium in it (which is obvious to them) then they reject the sample and you have to give another sample without pyridium in it. When a collector rejects a sample sometimes there are guidelines (depending on why they are failing the sample) they have to follow like getting a second sample within 3 hours and you are allowed so many ounces of water, but with pyridium it lasts about 8 hours so your second sample would probably be rejected too. Depending on who the test is for, a bad sample can be considered refusal to donate and that can result in an automatic failure.

I've used Pyridium several times before a test and its always came back clean...of course it may be from drinking water and me having a fast metabolism. But my Probation officer has never refused to take it....i just tell her i have a bladder infection and off to the lab it goes....so its never really messed me up on that part

I'm surprised that worked, really I am. Good for you though but if it was me I wouldn't want to risk getting a collector that knew what was up. If I was going to apply for a job or something I would rather use dilution without pyridium or substitution.
