Opana (oxymorphone) is a very potent semi-synthetic opioid analgesic derived from morphine. It has an average half-life of 7-9hrs although it may be more or less in some people.

Opana comes in two formulations, Opana and Opana ER (oxymorphone extended-release). Opana ER is taken every 12hrs and is used for moderate-severe chronic pain requiring the use of an opioid long-term. It is not to be used for people with acute pain or to be taken as needed. Like most extended release opioids including OxyContin (oxycodone controlled-release), MS Contin (morphine sulfate controlled-release), and Kadian (morphine sulfate extended-release) Opana ER is taken twice daily (every 12hrs) to provide continuous around the clock pain control.

Taking Opana ER once daily is not appropriate and may aggravate problems, cause significantly more break through pain, insomnia, and in people who are physically dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal with only one dose. Please note that physical dependency alone is not addiction, which is a behaviour. However physical dependency does commonly occur in opioid addicts.

Opana ER is available in a wide range of doses, 5,7.5,10,15,20,30, and 40 mg tablets. Regular Opana is only available in 5 and 10 mg tablets. When using regular Opana it lasts between 4-6hrs.

Avinza (morphine sulfate extended-release) is the only medication that provides 24hr relief. Additionally Duragesic (fentanyl transdermal), a patch applied to the skin, provides pain relief for 74hrs.

Opana is Oxymorphone, which is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic, which is not to be confused with Oxycodone, although both are derivatives of Morphine. The most common drug screening test uses the SAMHSA-5 panel, which test for cannabinoids (Marijuana and derivatives), cocaine, amphetamines and derivatives, opiates and PCP. Using a SAMHSA-5 panel, oxymorphone will pop positive for opiates. Depending on the method used for testing, they may be able to figure out exactly what drug you've taken. A GC/MS (Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) or HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography) would show specifically oxymorphone. However, most home drug screening kits will show negative for opiates when on Oxymorphone.

If they choose to use HPLC or GC/MS for urine screening, it would be detectable for approximately 30 days after the last use. A standard urine test however would only detect oxymorphone within 5-7 days of the last use. However, hair tests can detect oxymorphone for about 90 days after the last use.

It is important to note that companies rarely, if ever, use HPLC or GC/MS screening due to the cost.

Opana is a narcotic pain medication. Depending on the type of test, it is out of the body in 48-72 hours. Metabolism and other factors can affect how long it is detected.

For a urine test, Opana will be out of the system in 48 to 72 hours. It should not stay in your system longer than five days.

Opana will show up in your system on drug tests. I snorted one on Friday and failed a test on Tuesday for Oxycontin. Opana is a oxymorphone.
