Can Hydrocodone cause a false positive pregnancy test?

I took a generic Vicadin for a tooth problem I'm having and i took two pregnancy tests today and they were both postive. I don't feel pregnant and was wondering if this medication could cause false positives?

    Hydrocodone will not produce a false positive on a pregnancy test.. In fact your teeth may be bothering you because you are pregnant. That was the first sign I was pregnant with my first. In the early stages of pregnancy your body is so focused on providing for the embryo, the rest of your body plays second fiddle (hence the tooth pain). Good Luck, hope all goes well.

    No way at all. A false positive is highly unlikely. If it says positive, you are pregnant. it's false negatives you have to worry about. the only thing that can cause a false positives are medications given for infertility

    The hormone you secrete in your blood when you're pregnant is called HCG and i don't think there are any medications that can replicate this in your blood.

    If you think the pregnancy test is wrong, go to your doctor and get a blood test done.

    i dont think it would give you a false positive so your pregnant if your in doubt go to your doctor to get a blood pregnancy test and then tell them what you took and they could tell you

    no there is no kind of pain killers that can produce a positive pregnancy test.... the only Drugs that will cause a pos. test are drugs that help with infertility
