I believe that they are. I just had a urine test and i had taken hydrocodone 3 hours prior to the test (prescription of course). Got the results back today and nothing detected. Another friend of mine is on oxycodone prescription and he was also tested. Oxycodone showed up in the test and he had to show his script. The same test for both of us and his was detected. hope this helps

They will not test the same because they are not the same. Hydrocodone is a schedule 3 controlled substance available at present only in combination products, as is with apap (acetaminophen), asa (aspirin) or in liquids for cough control where it may be mixed with chlorpheniramine, an antihistamine, or pseudoephedrine (sudafed), a decongestant etc..

Oxycodone is a schedule 2 controlled substance and may be the sole ingredient in a drug or may be mixed in a tablet or capsule with aspirin (asa) or (apap), acetaminophen.

They are broken down in the body into different metabolites etc. as found in urine tests.

Both of these are opiates, it depends on the test. If its a basic 5 panel UA (urinalysis), then no it cannot tell the difference. However on lets say a 7 or 9 panel (UA) then it can,but needless to say if you have taken either you will test positive for opiates.

Yes, A drug test can tell the difference between hydrocodone and oxycontin. They also can tell how much of the drug is in your system as well.

Can a urinalysis drug test differentiate between Dilaudid and loratabs?

Yes it can. Loritab's active narcotic ingredient is Hydrocodone and oxycodone is obviously oxycodone. It really depends on the complexity of the test. If it's a five panel urinalysis both will just show up as "opiate" positive. If it is a gas spectrum chromatography (like a pre-employment drug screen), it can tell the difference between hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, heroin, morphine, hydromorphone, etc. hope this helps ya! -Scott G Hallendale, FL

Codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone to name a few of the opiates. Meth would be Ritalin or adderol or dexadrine more than likely.


Will tylenol3 and hydrocodone mixed come up on drug test as oxicodonie?

It depends on the type of drug test being used. On a standard pre-employment type drug screen, Tylenol No3 (codeine), hydrocodone, and oxycodone will likely be detected as a single positive result for narcotics or opioids. A more specialized (and expensive) test could be used to distinguish between the three.
