Celebrity Justice
Inhaler? We Hardly Knew Her! -- Brit's Drug Test

Posted Nov 13th 2007 2:08PM by TMZ Staff

Britney spearsTMZ has learned Britney Spears will now say her false positive drug test may have been caused by her inhaler, which she uses for asthma.

Sources connected with Spears told TMZ yesterday that the drug that may have caused the positive was Provigil, used to treat narcolepsy. But TMZ did some digging and found Provigil would not show up on a court-ordered drug test.

Now the same source says the drug that showed up may have been Albuterol, an asthma drug. But, again, we checked and Albuterol is not an amphetamine, and the class of drug that showed up on the test was an amphetamine.

K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, will press the issue tomorrow in court. Stay tuned.

3. This is a perfect example of how stupid this chick is. She doesn't have asthma, but uses an inhaler. Can somebody tell her she could die? Thanks

6. I hope someone can learn ffrom this mess. I used to think man, what a loser she is but now I just feel sorry for her. She's obviously addicted to drugs and can't see the light of day anymore.

15. when I was pregnant with my son my preliminary bloodwork showed the same thing. Sudafed...which is what the doctor told me to take for my allergies, can show as aphetamine also. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions here. I was most certainly NOT on any kind of illegal drugs or diet pills when pregnant.
