Answer Hi Chris,
Most drug tests employed now a days are quite specific and accurate. These tests depend either on antibodies or on chemical identification using very modern gadgetry. I do not think that with sudafed and alka seltzer, you will not test positive for the drugs they are testing. Mainly they are searching for the illicit use of drugs like opioids, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, or cannabinoids.
Overall I see little reason for you to worry, since these medicines are not likely to land you in trouble, but if something does go wrong lease get back to me.
