How Long Does Hydrocodone Stay In Your Urine For Highly Senstive Gas Chromatography Tests

My daughter has been going to a pain management physician for a few years and approximately 2 and a half months ago she an out of her oxycodone and a friend gave her two hydrocodones. Today (2 1/2) months later her urine screen showed positive for hydrocodone and they are sending it to the lab for confirmation. They did say that they have had several false positives with the urine cups lately. They use highly sensitive testing. Is there anyway possible for it to show up in her system that long after she took it?

What is a modified urine drug screen? What does it show?

As a nurse who treats pain patients, my gut instinct says this doesn't make sense. If it's false ok, but if it's true she's not giving you the whole story on exactly how much she took and for how long. Most pain patients cannot tolerate being out of meds that long.

I agree with "Love my Labrador". The lab screwed up or your daughter is lying. It is medically 99.9% unlikely that it would still be in her system 2 months later. Most opiates (pain pills) leave your system within 5 days, maybe 7-9 tops if you are on a high dosage, in which case she would have clearly experienced withdraw symptoms. Also, BMI, diet, exercise and hydration play a part in how long it will take, but there's really no way it would be 2 months.

no way!After 2.5 months,Nothing will be in there!Hydrocodone is water based oxicodone.Percodan is oil based oxicodone.The Hydo has tylenol mixed in it.No problem w/Dr. or lab.

If you take approx 3 10mg hydrocodone for 3 weeks or so, how long will it be in your urine? For a UDS? And how long will it be detected if they send your urine to a lab?

No I am a nurse and that's highly improbable.

Absolutely no way. She is either still taking them or urine test is wrong. Id tell my Dr about taking them. Theres NO WAY it would show up 6-8 WEEKS later.
