Hydrocodone- Same Medicine Different Dosages Will It Show Up As The Same Medicine Since Dosages Were Different?

Updated

My husband got a tooth cut out last week and was prescribed hydrocodone for the pain, he gets a monthly prescription for hydrocodone neways because of a back injury. Since the dosages are different he had a drug test just this Monday so will it show up as one medication or will the different dosages show up as well? He has a prescription for both but I was just wandering. Thanks for the help.

I wrote a question earlier but I just re -read it and I meant to say miligrams (mg) instead of dosage. He's got 2 prescriptions for hydrocodone but one mg is different from the other so since they are different will it show up as hydrocodone? Or hydrocodone and their mg? He had a drug test on Monday so I was just wandering I'm not worried he's got a prescription for both but I just didn't know how it worked!

It depends on what kind of test they do. It will show up as Hydrocodone, either way, but some places use tests that also show the levels of it that are in your body.

If you are prescribed a certain dosage and are taking it as prescribed, then the levels of the drug and metabolites in your body are in a certain range, anything outside of that range alerts them to a possible problem.

This type of test, however, is usually only used by pain management clinics or drug treatment centers, it is not the type that is normally used by employers.

Are there any other questions?

will norco show up on a 10 panel test through dot if taken within twelve hours of use? And will zolpidem two 10 milligram dosages taken 6 hours before the test show up as a benzodiazepin with the same ten panel dot style?

This answere is incorrect. I took 40 milligrams of norco 10 6 hours prior and it was my first urine of the day and it was negative due to the fact that this is a synthetic opiate. With all ten panels they must add an expanded opiate test to it. So you where did you get this information as it is grossly incorrect. I also would like to know if you think ambien will show up as a benzodiazepine at a dose of 20 milligrams or two 10s taken 6 hours previously on same ten panel and if so where are you getting your information from.

I have a script for Norco 5 for a shoulder sprain. I ran out a couple days ago so my friend showed mercy and gave me a few Norco 10s. Will the difference in milligrams show on my jobs random drug testing? I'm kind of losing sleep over this

If you were prescribed the 3 diff types of mg, but your doc told you to take a certain mg, and your pain got so bad, you took a higher dose, would it show up when he does a urine test in his office?

Kay,

No, You shouldn't have an problem. For the purposes of instant in office" dip" protocols can't measure specific opioid levels. If they feel something is suspicious highly specific tests can be run in a lab setting that delivers percentage and molecular variability. Good luck,
Kenie.

Yes it will. Hydrocodone can stay in the urine for 1-4 days depending on dosage you took. I actually did a 5 panel DOT drug test and I popped for hydrocodone. It had been 16 hours since I had used it and from the time they gave me the drug test. It showed up in my drug test. Depending on the company you work for, without prescription you can be terminated but even if your company doesn't fire you (which they more than likely will) Dot requires you to get counseling and pass another drug test before you can drive again.

You sir are incorrect. Yes hydrocodone is a synthetic opiate but none the less it's an opiate. It will show positive for opiates in your system. The DOT know what they are doing, they are going to test for widely abused drugs which hydrocodone is. It will show up as an opiate positive, at that point it will be sent to a lab to verify exactly what kind of opiate it is. They will find out its hydrocodone trust me. At that point a MRO (medical review officer) will contact you to see if you have have prescription for hydrocodone, if you don't then they have to inform your employer of a positive test for opiates. Don't act like you know what you're talking about and then ask questions like "will ambien show up as a benzodiapine" it shows that you obviously don't know. Trust me I know. I only did a 5 panel DOT test and they found out my hydrocodone in my system but I had a prescription which they were able to verify.

Re: Angel (# 7) Expand Referenced Message

No. Even though drug testing has gotten more advance thru the years, it can’t detect a particular manufacturer. When it comes to making a certain drug there are guidelines set by the FDA in order for them to produce it. They can’t add a different ingredient to the drug. So, no matter who makes it the drug has to be the same. Hope this helps.

As long as they are both hydrocodone you don’t have anything to worry about. Even though they are different doses they are the same medicine and will test the same.
