Does Percocet 30 Show In A Urine Profile?

hello DOC.. so, I have been taking Percocet 30 for 3 weeks now, do to a back injury that happen on my job.. I always break the pill in half because its way to strong for me to take a whole one, for exsample, in the morning I would take one half then before bed take the other half.. well, another job has contacted me for a job interview and to take a urine test, which is in 4 days actually 5 days but the 5th day is in the morning.. do you think It will show up in my urine? I really want this new job.. will I pass?

Hello,

Most urine tests check for opiate drugs, which is the kind of medicine Percocet is.

Typically urine tests can detect opiates for 2-4 days after the last use, so if you were to stop now you might test negative, but otherwise it would most likely be positive.

However, if you have a prescription for Percocet, hopefully, you would be able to explain to your employer that there is a good reason your urine test is positive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
