Title: Good News Everybody!
Post by: Jennifer.L on July 20, 2012, 08:02:58 PM
So I have been worried that my HRT would show up on a drug screening as.  well something, anything, and cause trouble for me.  Well I got called for a screening and passed with out a hitch.  :-)  It would seem HRT will NOT affect a drug screen in any way.

Drug screenings are looking for controlled substances.  HRT is not a controlled drug.

Depends on who the lab is.  Yes there were incidents of that happening, but the labs have refined the test so that is doesn't happen now.  They are generally looking for Class I,II, III, IV and V drugs.  From Marijuana ( Class I ) to Robitussin DAC ( Class IV ).

They will show up as female though, if I'm not mistaken..
