Can Hydrocodone Be Detected In Urine Test?
Question: Will there be a difference in an urine test if you have taken two percocet instead of my prescripted hydrocodone.
Brief Answer:
Not in the screening urine test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Percocet contains oxycodone which is metabolized and excreted similar to hydrocodone. The screening urine test looks at codeine and morphine and metabolites. So both will be detected. Blood tests and special urine tests can differentiate between the two.
Take care,
