Brief Answer:
Yes. False positive result will come.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Anything containing opiates or opioids will result in a positive on a Morphine drug test.
This includes almost all prescription painkillers ( codeine, hydrocodone, oxycontin, etc.).
Morphine can be detected in your urine for up to four days after consumption, while other opiates may dissipate in only one or two days.

It is better to show your drug prescription by your treating doctor to the concerned authority before undergoing any drug test.
It will help in avoidance of suspicion on you about illicit drug intake by concerned drug control authority.

Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
