Brief Answer:
Only Tramadol belongs to opiates.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using Healthcare Magic.

Of medicaments you mentioned only Tramadol belongs to opiates group and blood test for opiates should be positive for Tramadol if the panel used has immunoassay screen for Tramadol, and won't be false-positive for other opiates or their metabolites.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
