No. Absolutely not. They are both oxycodone. Oxycontin is just a longer acting formulation.
Yes they can. The tests at my doctors can definitely tell the difference. one will show up has Oxycontin and the other will show as oxycodone. Now they have tests to make sure patients are using the drugs prescribed. Depending on the test the dr. uses it will tell this difference

∙ 12y agoYes, their structures are completely different. They wont even show false positives for each other. Oxycodone's structure was based on morphine while methadone's structure is more like darvocet

∙ 11y agoThey are both opiates, so an instant test will only show a positive for opiates in general if you have taken either. A lab spectra test will tell the difference though.

From what I understand yes. I am a methadone patient and have been for many years.

It apparently makes a big difference and blocks it somehow.
