Oxycodone breaks down or metabolizes into 3 chemicals about 1/3 stays as oxycodone but around 1/3 turns into oxymorphone naturally in the body. If u weren't testing positive for it it would be strange. Explain 2 ur dr that ur body metabolizes oxycodone partially into oxymorphone & it isn't a false positive it's simply positive due 2 how it breaks down in the human body. Ur dr really should have allready known this! Good luck!
Oxycodone breaks down into Oxymorphone during metabolism in the body. That is why the urine is showing oxymorphone, since it is excreted as conjugated oxymorphone, free and conjugated noroxymorphone, and oxymorphone is about 8%.
Im prescribed oxycodone, ran out, took one ten mg. opana two days before urine drug test, drank lots of water, will the opana show??
oxycodone metabolizes into oxymorphone. Morphine does not. Your doctor should know that. If he does not, I would suggest finding another pain management doctor.
