Oxymorphone Related To Oxycodone? (Page 2)

Pat Says:
I need to know if oxycodone is in any way related to oxymorphone. Does oxycodone break down in the system and then throw out oxymorphone chemicals like my doctor told me or is my urine test flawed like I believe it to be. There is no way I could have either one of these in my system yet my doctor (who really does not want to treat pain by medication only due to lack of payment by insurance company) tells me that the oxymorphone in my system is actually a chemical breakdown from the oxycodone. Comments or actual accurate knowledge anyone?

I thought Vicodin was hydrocodone not oxycodone. Because in the drug test I take 5mg vicodone and 10mg oxycodone and they both show up different. It test positive for hydrocodone for the Vicodin and oxycodone for the percocets.

Ok gotta question. I am on Norco which I know shows up as hydrocodone and I'm on 30mg morphine er.. It shows up in my system as oxymorphone...is that right? I'm not taking anything that has oxycodone in it at all.just really curious to this. I even went and bought 2 drug tests at Walgreens which was a 12 panel which tested for everything I take. I peed in one using my own urine and used my son's urine in the other and crushed up a half a Norco and half of a morphine 30mg we. Both tested exactly the same showing I had oxymorphone in both samples. So I'm taking it as morphine breaks down the same way as anything with oxycodone in it? If I'm wrong please correct me. Just really curious to this. Thanks

I am a pain mangement specialist who does both interventional mgt and medication mgt. Do you really want a doc who tests but doesn't know the metabolites of the drugs they prescribe? Especiallyif they make clinical decisions based on that?

Vicadin is hydrocodone not oxycodone,which is percacet/percadan/OxyContin. I think hydrocodone is metabolized into hydromorphone,dilaudid,but not 100% positive

#43, u alway report stolen meds to the police. It's in the pain contract when u sign it to report them as soon as they r stolen for your safety n therefore they know why u r negative. My sister's BIL stole my percocet n Klonopin back 6 months ago n I reported him to the police right away. It saved my butt. My input on the drug screen. My dr has been questioning me on why I test positive for opiate when I take oxycodone. I had to explain to him thst it breaks down into it. I also test slightly negative, barely positive on Klonopin. His nurse said it's very common w the test he uses n explained to me thst it tests low for benzo when taking Klonopin, but all other benzos show up very positive. So she explained that she can tell if I were to take a Xanax for example n not just my Klonopin bc Xanax shows more positive on his certain test thst he uses in his office. I have urinary problems n my dr knows. So today he sent me next door to Florida hospital to do a lab UA. I hope the lab UA from the hospital finally clears up any doubt he has. He still gives me my RX bc he wants to trust me bc I've been seeing him for yrs. I think he just wants to make sure to protect himself, but when RXing these meds drs should be educated on the way the med breaks down n metabolizes in your system bc 1 day I was accused of doing more meds than just oxycodone n I told him I felt extremely upset n as though I was being treated like a drug addict when they don't know how a med breaks down in your system. So I do hope this lab test clears this situation up w my drs office bc I'm tired of being accused of doing or taking something I'm not. I actually googled it for him n showed him n he now understands n still sent me for further testing. Which is ok w me bc it'll finally clear up this mistake on the cheap office test.

If i took 2 30mg oxycodone and am prescribed oxymorphone will they find out or will it show the same. I took then at 7am this morning and go 2morrow at 2:45. Dont know if they will test me. I had a raging bf who broke in and stole my money and meds and some gave me these bcuz i was so sick. Last month same thing i took my last oxymorphone and threw it up so i got tested and paniced and put my urine in the bottle for the residue. Dont know if i ingested enough to produce metabolites but am worried that they wont show and it will show the presence of the residue so they might test me on the spot tomorrow. Should i take clean urine better clean thsn dirty. Ive been having problems testing negstive bcuz this psycho takes my meds down to my blood pressure meds. I finally got rid of him but am terrified of losing my doc ive been going to for 10 years. Anyone know anything about this?

If i took oxycodone my cousin gave me bcuz i was so sick because the abusive drunk i lived broke in and stole EVERYTHING, will it show up as oxymorphone. I put residue from oxymorphone in my urine.but am terrifed i will fail bcuz my doc sends everything to the lab. There wont be metabolites in it. This was last month before i kicked him out for stealing my meds. I had nothing so i put my urine ine the bottke thinking it woukd show up until i read the internet to find out that they look for metabolites. I dont do anything wrong just got mixed up with a psycho who stole them from me. I have to go live witht family now to keep him away. Im terrified i will lose my doctor and ive told my doc he stole from me bcuz ive tested neg b4. Hes gonna get sick of hearing it and discharge me affer 10 years and what do i do then? I have Lupus and many other health issues.

Oxycodone has an active metabolite of oxymorphone and many others metobolites. Oxymorphone has no active metabolites other than itself, a prodrug, oxymorphone.

IN RESPONSE TO THE LADY TREATED BADLY BY DR & BETTER WHEN BROUGHT HUSBAND IN OFFICE WITH HER...this happens to me ALL the time if I go to the emergency room. I'm in pain management & very occasionally I get very such, vomiting & such & end up in a detox position & become very dehydrated ect. my pain dr always send me to emergency room cause I need fluids, pain meds & nausea meds thru iv to stop it. Thus happens about every other month maybe every 3rd so of course a pattern has evolved plus before I got on disability & had no income to see dr or pay for meds I would end up in er a good bit so it made me look like a drug seeker/addict ect. Now my pain dr treats me & I don't have need for hosp unless that vomiting thing starts &I end up detoxing from inability to keep anything down to keep it from getting me sicker. anyway my point to answering...I'm in my lower 30s &I get profiled more often than not. If my husband takes me they treat me like a drug addict big time..refuse to treat me..give me Tylenol knowing I'm on high doses of opiates...even try to give me pill forms which I vomit back up bring that's reason I'm there. If he takes me its awful &I end up in extreme pain attacks which course makes pain worse, crying ect...now if my mom takes me...I'm treated like a very important patient & will ringtones give me 3 or 4 doses of pain meds before I even leave & make sure I'm perfect before discharge...I've only been treated badly once or twice with her but it changed quickly when she talked to the charge nurse. Even if my hubby brings me & they start the profiling drug seeker treatment & then mom shows up the treatment us a complete 180. Some drs worry to much when it comes to pain meds esp with all the new laws but to be treated like I get when the er dr verifies the types & high doses of pain meds I'm on when my hubby or friend takes me its unbelievable! Like Tylenol will treat pain that daily high opiates are reg meds for me then treatment get worse when I try to explain & they specifically tell me they are not going to give me narcotics...I show them my pill bottles with the meds in them & they won't allow me to try to take them while there but expect me to try to take
Tylenol which like says throw back up. Drs profile u for anything from tattoos, to how u look, weight, clothing..one even says if u look bad they won't treat u so I actually experimented that one came in with nice clothes in & makeup & they treated me like a businesswomen but yet when I come in with swears & no makeup they treat me like a druggie. Its all bout the dr, how they were raised, schooling ect..but no one souls be judged for anything no matter what the case..hell I could go in with a gun shot & they'd prob try to year me with Tylenol...labor day I broke up a fight when my dog was attacked by a wolf & had half my chin ripped off & they gave me Tylenol & once again wouldn't skew me to take my own meds...actually took the bottles from me til I left & refused to give me anything else for pain even after seeing the dudes of what I'm on...pissed them off tho cause when the discharged me & gave me nacho my meds I enjoyed like 3 of each out and swallowed them right there in front of all the dr & nurses at the nurses startin...they threatened to call the police &I said go for or but they couldn't do anything cause I war taking my own medication lol thanks for listening to my rambling my point was that I know exactly what u go thru

Neither drug will show any metabolites of the other. Oxycodone will show opiate oxymorphone as a metabolite. Hydrocodone will show hydrocodone and possibly hydromorphone depending on time and testing. Codeine will show up as morphine as it is a 10% metabolite. Oxymorphone will only show Oxymorphone, as it does not metabolites to any active drug. It is a prodrug, meaning the active drug is not a metabolite, but the drug itself.

Ive read all the posts and they have great information, but I have one question. I recently tested positive for oxymorphone, but I was on percocet at the time. I was told by my physician that it was Vicodin that gave me a positive test for oxymorphone. I've never taken Vicodin before and I thought that it was hydrocodone. So my questions is how can Vicodin (hydrocodone) give me a positive test for oxymorphone?

Carl Says:
Oxymorphone metabolite is active metabolite, 6-OH-oxymorphone in plasma.
Oxycodone is actually a prodrug. The active metabolite, oxymorphone, is produced in the liver by the enzymatic activity of cytochrome P450 2D6.
Patients who are being prescribed oxycodone can be expected to have oxymorphone in the urine. As this study shows, the amount of oxymorphone in the urine is highly variable. Even when the ratio was very high, the author had no reason to suspect that any of the patients were surreptitiously using oxymorphone addition to their oxycodone. So you can take oxycodone and it will show the metabolite of oxymorphone, and oxymorphone will show the metabolite of it's parent drug Oxymorphone. BUT you can't be prescibed Oxymorphone and take Oxycodone on the side.
Although oxymorphone is considered a minor metabolite of oxycodone, it may be found in the urine of patients prescribed only oxycodone in relatively large amounts compared with oxycodone. On the other hand, patients who are prescribed oxymorphone but not oxycodone would not be expected to have any oxycodone in their urine. Knowledge of these facts will enable oxycodone and oxymorphone prescribers to interpret more correctly the results of urine drug screens. So you see you can take secretly take oxymorphone, when precribed oxycodone, BUT not prescribed oxymorphone and take oxycodone on the side, as it will show oxycodone also and oxymophone won't. I hope you can understand this.
