i just took a drug test for an employer and it is being sent for further testing. I have not smoked any mmj for weeks and when I looked up letrozole, it is a type of steroid. I am wondering if anyone knows if this will cause a false positive???

    No letrozole shouldn't cause a false positive.  It isn't technically an anabolic steroid, it just regulates estrogen.  There are some other supplements that could cause a false positives, it depends on what it found.

    Mmmmm. I have read some articles that say it can cause a false positive. Pro athletes have been in trouble for using it. But they are tested specifically for steroid use. Ugh....

    Aromatase inhibitors are on the banned list for the Olympics and the like. So this would depend on what exactly they are testing for.
