Antibiotics like Cefixime, vitamin supplements like Beplex Forte, and NSAIDs generally do not interfere with standard drug tests, which are designed to detect specific controlled substances or their metabolites.
If pain killer was an NSAID there might be some interference in test results.
There have been occasional reports of false positives in some immunoassay screenings, particularly for marijuana or barbiturates. However, these false positives are usually resolved with confirmatory testing using more specific methods like GC-MS or HPLC
