To my understanding, urine does not have an expiration date, if that's what you are referring to? No pun intended. As far as accuracy goes, that really depends upon the quality of the test given. On the cheaper, less reliable drug tests, it seems anything is possible. False positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

For the best accuracy, there is specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer; which has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. This type of testing is not initially performed because of cost, but, is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time.

I hope this helps!

I am have a question regarding a urine test. I have been trying to come off pain meds and started going to a doctor to receive soboxtone therapy & since ive been on them i haven't had any type of narcotics, however i was told that i had to stop taking pain meds two days before my appointment & show up in a mild detox state. I didn't wait the whole 48 hours i had my last dosage late like one day to a day and a half before. They sent the urnie out to be tested & i was just wondering if they will be able to tell because if pain meds can last in your system up to 4-5 days then i don't know how they would know because they asked what i had taken & what was in my system & i told the nurse loricet 10's prob 2-3 and percocet 10's probably like 4-5. I just don't want them to decide they don't want to treat me anymore since i have been on this new medicine i haven't even had the urge to take pain meds at all. I really want to stay on this track & then be taken off like how they explained to about how the program works.
