Is Oxycodone The Same As A Percocet

Updated

I was wondering if Percocet 5 and Percocet 10 would show up the same on a drug test?

The difference is that Percocet contains Acetaminophen + Oxycodone; while standard Oxycodone is the only drug in and of itself.

Depending on the type of drug test and how efficient it is, some of the the standard tests typically used for screenings lack the sensitivity to distinguish beyond the basic structures of the drug class vs. the drug name.

In any case, it is best to be upfront and honest about which drugs you are taking, providing them proof of your prescription(s) and understanding the possibility of a false positive result. Specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, actually 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 because of the false positive.

I hope this info helps!

PERCOCET contains enough acetametaphine to cause kidney failure with prolonged use.

it wouldn't make a difference. normal drug testing only tests for WHAT drugs are in your system, not the amount, how much you use does not matter to an employer, just the fact alone that you use at all is enough to make a difference.

Ink sorry but with ask respect is you don't know what your talking about don't answer...he asked a simple question are Percocet the same as oxycodone and who are you to know what kind of year will be done...I'll give you something to do instead of opinions...test do show levels who are you to tell someone what type of test is being done...what is the difference from opiates and opioid because they do show up different. Oxycodone is an opioid, morphine or anything with codeine is an opiate and will show a differencein a test.

He said Dr not an employer...a doctor since most test are covered by insurance will test for levels to see if drug is being abused or being not used please don't answer questions before you ruin someone's life!

I believe "the source" is right I start my physical therapy this coming Monday a 4 week 5 days a week regemet I took a percocet which I'm not prescribed & I'm sweating bullets because I'm in a pain management clinic & worried sick that I'm goibg to get a UA and I signed a contract. This percocet is left over from about 5 months ago in fact I have 3 more left they're A 5/325 my doctor gave me a script for Norco. I recieved a codul epedural from him about 2 weeks ago & told my doctor that I was taking 3 Norco a day instead of the 2 prescribed. That is not documentad anywhere because I was going in for a injection not a med check. When I went in for my med check I told the other doctor & he acted like I was abusing my meds when in fact I get up at 4:30 in the morning & my other doctor said that that would b about right timibg because I go lto bed around 9/10. I can't pick up my script until Monday that's 3 days away from now. I am also in a lot of pain because I'm having another epidural shot in my neck in about a week. I'm hoping & praying that they don't give me a Urine test. If they do I'm going to tell them the truth & why I am also going to bring in my script bottle for the percocet what should I do? HELP I need this physical therapy to build up my core muscles to get off the drugs I am not abusing them
& I just can't make myself throw ot my last pills. I also ws told
I have PTSD last week do u think thely r going to give me a UA at physical therapy this is a big commitment to me to go thru this course. If I didn't want to get better I wouldn't have taken these classes.
