Are Drugs Still Detected In Urine A Week Outside The Body

Updated

I had a random drug test done at work which picked up the tylenol 3 I had taken the night before I cannot find that presription however, i have the one for percocet 5/325 can I get away with sending that one instead? Also, how long will the drug stay detected in the urine they already have?

Tylenol w/ Codeine can be detected in your urine for up to 2-4 days, and the same with Percocet. However, if they already have a sample from when it was in your system, then to my understanding it's not just going to dissipate a week later from the sample cup, if that's what you're referring to?

Because Percocet contains acetaminophen + oxycodone, and Tylenol 3 contains acetaminophen + codeine, I don't see how you'd be able to switch out one for the other. Even though Oxycodone is similar in structure to codeine, I just don't think it would fly with the lab.

Does anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

Go by the pharmacy where T#3 was filled and they can print a record to cover the positive drug screen. If not your prescription or bought off the street, may be out of luck.
