Will Oxycodone Show Up The Same As Hydrocodone In A Drug Test (Top voted first)

Updated

I was prescribed hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 TB for back pain. I ran out so I took a oxycodone 10mg for the pain. Today is the 11th of April and I have to go in and see my Dr. on the 14th of April. If he tests my urine what will the outcome be? Will it just show for opiates or will a Dr.'s office urine test be more of a specific test? I have a feeling he's going to test my system because after all he did prescribe me the hydrocodone.

I took a preemployment urine drug screen monday 8-11-2014. The on-the-spot test tested for opiates and oxycodone and I came back positive for Oxycodone but I'm prescribed Hydrocodone (norco). I haven't taken any Oxycodone and I'm about to pull my hair out over this as my livelihood hangs in the balance. I've done a lot of research on this and have come to find that this false positive happens more often than not. So as I sit here waiting on a call from the MRO I guess I'm looking for a little reassurance. Thank you in advance

That's not true at all. I see a pain management doctor and I'm prescribed oxycodone. I ran out and was going through WD so i took some hydrocodone and thought the same thing until i got busted on my drug test. You shouldn't be giving people false information. It's 2 totally different drugs that have a different chemical makeup.

I took oxycodone about an hour before pain management appointment. I'm prescribed hydrocodone. I was urine tested. Will it show up?

If your doctor tests for hydrocodone and oxycodone separately, you will show positive for both oxy and hydro. However, if the doctor is only testing you for opiates, it's going to likely be positive because sometimes hydro and oxy both show up as a positive for opiates. Recently, I took a drug test and came up positive for oxycodone. However, I have a prescription for hydrocodone, so my results had to be sent to the lab. The lab came back with hydrocodone, not oxycodone. So, my best answer for you is yes, they will both show up if your doctor is testing for both.

You my friend are exactly right, but in saying that I will also say in the same breath that "It ALL DEPENDS ON THE TEST YOU ARE TAKING".Some Dr's do in-depth testing also employers, some do NOT,some use a CARD,some do NOT. And some have cups that check EVERYTHING!! & again some do NOT. So unless you know what kind of TEST you are taking a person that Is Not in the Medical Field CAN NOT give you an absolute answer 100%. The best thing to do is NOTICE THE BRAND NAME & NUMBER ON THE CUP A MANUFACTURER WOULD BE GREAT COUNT THE COLOR CODES ON THE CUP,GOOGLE IT,WITH THE SPECIFIC COLOR'S & BAM- You have just found out if they test for both or group them as opioid's along with everything ELSE they test for. I hope this helps just be Aware of what your doing. I would like to add also that NoOne LIKES TO BE IN PAIN, BUT Be AWARE OF WHAT YOU TAKE AT ALL TIME'S!!! BECAUSE MIXING MEDICATION CAN BE HARMFUL, EVEN DEADLY..& SOMETIMES IT ONLY TAKE'S ONE PILL. GOD BLESS YOU & I HOPE THAT YOU FIND THIS USEFUL. :)

Not if they send it off. Blood test will show exactly what you took if they test your blood.

I think a lot of the test results may depend on amount of time a person has used a medication. I know for a fact that I have only been taking my hydrocodone (which I have for over three years) and was given a 2 drug test within the past 2 months and the first (whish was a more advanced test) barely showed the pass red line for oxy but showed positive for opiates. Second test (which I think was a shotty test; didn't even have opiates on it) showed positive for oxy. And I am completely honest in me ONLY taking just hydrocodone. Could be how my body metabolizes the medication. Idk but yeah its a nerve racking situation.

It all depends on how they test. I know when I see my dr, she throws a urine test my way at times just because of the new laws and it's a simple urine test that just checked to see if I have any illegal drugs in my system and also show my Oxy's I do have in my system. I don't believe it would show up any different if you've had both in your system unless they send the labs off for more detailed results. Sadly, I can't post a pic of my test/lab results, but I did go and copy it so I could paste it here and show what my dr screens for during a simple routine urine test. I hope this helps! (Sorry, it's kinda jumbled up. The top half just names what they test for and the bottom are my results)

Hydrocodone does not contain codeine only Tylenol with codeine so please don't confuse people in doctor office they test for opiates, meyhodone, Canada ect. They send to lab to get name of drugs in your system. Some pain management test 4 times a year if your lucky to get one of them since new law

I go to a pain clinic and I am prescribed oxycodone and when they showed me the results of my test and showed up with a very low level of hydrocodone and the doctor said that sometimes happens when you take an oxycodone because they are a to a certain degree a derivative of each other just With different metabolizers( I am assuming this was the layman's answer) and I'm not sure if it works the opposite if your prescribed hydrocodone if oxycodone will show up or not

They will show up the same if it's just a quick dip but if they send it to the lab it will show up different but you shouldn't have a problem

If they are only looking for opiates then it will pass. They are both synthetic opiates. Also those pills are out of your system after the most 72 hours. If they blood test you that's another story.

My last Hydrocodone was June 30th. Will it still show up in my urine test by July 17th? Also, does it show up the same as Oxycodone? My pain dr checks me monthly.

It all depends on the test, and at any time they can decide to do a more comprehensive test if the cheap 5/6/10/12 panel test is inconclusive or contradictory to your story. For instance, I've taken suboxone before and tested positive for morphine. I later found out that administering suboxone through other means can cause it to metabolize differently, causing this false positive. The best advice I can give is it's always better to be safe than sorry, and especially for things like parole/probation if they know you're on a pain medication prescription, they will very likely gcms the test to verify that you're not using a street drug or a more powerful prescription opiate/opioid, ESPECIALLY if they know for instance, heroin is your drug of choice.
