Is my body not cleansing substances?

I have a drug test coming up for my employer and I don’t use any other drugs besides cocaine, but it’s been 2 weeks and I am still testing positive for cocaine in my urine. I’m not sure why. is something wrong with me? When I use it is at least 2 weeks in between and no more than a gram at a time. I have been drinking water and exercising. But I am worried now.

Cocaine does not stay in your system for 2 weeks. If a drug screen is being used, an over-th-counter medication may be causeing a false positive cocaine test.
