Can The Test For Morphine Be A False Positive?
I recently had a drug test for a job offer and my test came back positive for morphine and hydrocodine. I have never taking morphine in my life and I have a prescription for hydrocodone. I do not understand these results and I am very upset because I have never taken or done any kind of drugs. Can you please explain this to me.

Hello,
Its a true positive test as hydrocodone and morphine both metabolizes into dihydrocodeine and hydromorphone into the body.
There is no need to afraid of anything if you have the proper prescription for hydrocodone.
As long as you are taking this medicine every time your test is going to be positive for morphine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
