Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this misunderstanding. Please, stand by your words and don't change them unless you really believe you have not been following the treatment as prescribed. Lortab contains oxycodone and acetaminophen and I will not be surprised that a urine scree reports that there is oxycodone in your urine as you are taking this drug. Ask him directly about this and he would provide answers about this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
