Can a drug test tell the difference between Percocet and Tylenol 3?

Most drug tests are actually screens, and give results as a positive for a CLASS of drugs, such as amphetamines, barbiturates, opiates, etc. Percocet's active ingredients are acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) and oxycodone (an opiate). Tylenol 3 is acetaminophen and codeine (another opiate). So, no, most drug tests would not be able to tell the difference, as it would just show a positive for opiates. A more specific test might tell the difference, such as one performed by a toxicology lab on blood or urine samples, by looking at the metabolites present.

∙ 15y agoyes, Tylenol 3's contain a narcotic known as codiene, which should not be confused with cocaine which is a stimulant. CODIENE is an opiate which is synthesized into morphine in your body making the drug show up as an opiate. Cocaine will show up as cocaine. These drugs ARE NOT the same!

Why does methadone show positive in urine drug screen when only percocet is taken?
Most likely you have the wrong drug listed as what is showing in the drug screen... I don't believe that methadone would show in a drug screen for percocet. Percocet is made of two active ingredients, Tylenol and oxycodone. oxycodone is derived from morphine, so it is possible that morphine may show in the drug test when percocet is taken.
