Added: This is an old excuse and breathalyzer operators hear it probably several times a month. It is the amount of alcohol in the exhaled breath the machine measures, not the quality of one's respirations or the contents of the medication. It "affects" it only in the respect that the individual's impaired breathing function MAY make it more difficult to produce a proper 'blow.' But, if you can draw enough breath to sustain life, you can blow strongly enough to give a sample.

Updated 8/11/10: By federal mandate, the propellant used in Asthma inhalers like Albuterol was changed from CFC propellant to HFA propellant. It should be known that HFA propellants have ethonol in them, and this can effect your breathalizer results if you had recently used your inhaler. For some more reading, check the related link below.

INCORRECT!
Any range of medicine that contains alcohol in it can provide a false positive on a breathalyser.
If the medicine contains alcohol, then it isn't a false positive. It is actually detecting alcohol!!! That is what it is supposed to do. That is like saying it would give a false positive from eating rum cake.
