Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Hydrocodone and oxycodone are both opioids with slight differences, there is possibility one can come positive with others use.Also their active metabolites and their metabolism mechanisms act almost the same. Nothing to worry about, Just show them the prescription and they will know.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself anddont forget to close the discussion please.
