Vicodin and codeine both contain opiates. When you have a urine drug test they mainly test for general substances. So if they do test for opiates then you will test positive if you have taken Vicodin in the past 3 to 5 days. If you have a prescription for Vicodin it would be a good idea to tell whoever is testing you and show them your prescription. If not they could possibly think you have actually been using heroin since it too will show positive for opiates.

Yes, in theory. vicodine, hydromorphone and so on are synthetics of morphine. if you take any of these on a regular basis and depending on what panel urine test they give, you will not show positive for codeine, because your body has had time to metabolize the meds and break them down, but if you or new to these meds and can prove it, i don't mean 2-3 days new it has to be subjected to the body and tested within a short amount of time or if given in an iv for pain and they test you, your body has not had time to metabolize and break down each individiual medication, therefore could show positive for codeine. even if no codeine was administered. hope this helps. some will argue, but in my profession ive seen it many times. its a gray area, and no lab testing facility wants to admit that they find certain medications, but do not have a clue how they may have tested positive. in their defense, i will say that if someone comes up + for THC, and say "oh it was secondhand smoke at a party" well that's a given.

Does Hydrocortisone cream have codeine?

Could a given preparation containing hydrocortisone acetate also contain codeine? Yes, it could.Would a rational person expect it to? No, he would not. Hydrocortisone acetate is a specific compound that is more or less exactly unlike codeine.You may be thinking of hydrocodone, which isn't exactly codeine either, but is at least a closely related compound (hydrocodone differs from codeine in having a =O where codeine has an -OH).


What can you take instead of Tramadol?

Any narcotic and some non-narcotic painkillers could replace Tramadol. Some examples are hydrocodone, or codeine.


I was wondering can you make the famous southern drink a lot of rappers drink with just hydrocodone or do i need another additive if so what?

No you cant, your referring to a drink made with grape codeine and promethazyne cough syrup. Hydrocodone is much more potent and should not be consumed in the quantity that rappers claim to use of the codeine syrup. There could be serious repercussions, including death due to respiratory failure.


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.


Does ten panel drug test test for hydrocodone?

yes it does it is a opiate and it will be tested for...1 thing a ten panel will not test for is oxycodone you could use oc and not test positive for opiates as long as u don't use an extreme amount daily. I know someone that uses oc daily and tests negative all the time for opiates bc its not specifically tested for unless they test you with a 12 panel....


If you are allergic to codeine would you be allergic to Vicodin?

The first thing that you need to know is if it is a true allergy or simply a strong manifestation of the common opioid side effects. If you do have a true allergy to codeine, you could be allergic to some or all of the semi-synthetic preparations or you could be fine with them. The semi-synthetic codeines include hydrocodone, oxycodone, and any other -codone named medications. You should also be aware that drug allergies can begin at any time. While you may have taken hydrocodone without incident for years, you may find yourself having a life-threatening reaction to it at any time. Once you have a reaction to codeine or a synthetic preparation, you are at an increased risk of reacting to the other preparations. It would be wise to keep epinepherine and diphenhydramine available if you are going to test the waters with any others. If you find yourself allergic to codeine or the semi-synthetic preparations, you may want to talk to your doctor about prescribing a medication from the morphine group as allergies to codeine and morphine are generally unrelated.


Will morphine show up as hydrocodone in drug test?

Any pain killer will show up as an opiate. This is in the same class as heroin and depending on how in depth your test will go they will be able to tell the exact medication you were taking.


Could you mix codeine and Xanax?

You could but it's advisable not to. Both are sedatives. Codeine is an analgesic anti-inflammatory. Xanax is a Benzodiazipine used in treating Anxiety disorders.


If I drug tested someone who said they were on vicodin and it came out positive for opiates does this mean they could or could not have been taking something else?

Yes they could have been on almost any other opiate. However taking vicoden or some other Hydrocodone mix is very common compared to using most other opiates.


Will you get sick if you take tylanol 3 and vicodine?

Vicodin contains hydrocodone and Tylenol. Tylenol #3 contains codeine and Tylenol. More than 4000 mg per day of Tylenol can cause liver damage. Mixing codeine and hydrocodone is not particularly dangerous, as long as the patient does not take too much. On the other hand, no doctor would prescribe both at the same time. Therefore, anyone who takes both is taking at least one of them without a doctor's prescription, which is illegal.


Can you take metformin and codeine together?

No. The suboxone will stop the codeine from working. Also, combining codeine and suboxone could cause respiratory depression (a decreased rate of breathing). If respiratory depression is severe enough it can cause death.
