Is hydrocodone a steroid?

Nope -- Hydrocodone is an opioid -- a synthetic opiate.


Will norco show up as a opiate?

The narcotic in Norco is an opioid in that it contains hydrocodone, which is derived from codeine. It also contains acetaminophen. Because it is synthesized from an opiate it is labeled an opioid. Yes. Norco is hydrocodone, which is an opiate class medication.

Is Ultram considered the same opiate as Hydrocodone?

Ultram or Tramadol is an opioid -- a synthetic opiate. It acts much like an opiate in your system.


Will hydrocodone show up in a drug test?

Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid found in brand name medications like Vicodin, Norco, Lortab, and Lorcet. Hydrocodone is always combined with another drug, typically acetaminophen which is found in the examples listed above. Hydrocodone is not an opiate and will not be detected on an opiate test. Opiates only refer to naturally occurring opiate alkaloids, primarily morphine and codeine. However heroin will also be detected in an opiate drug test because it turns into morphine. A specific test is required to detect semi-synthetic opioid's like hydrocodone and oxycodone or synthetic opioids like methadone or Demerol (pethidine). So if hydrocodone is tested for (and it is not routinely tested for) it will be positive for hydrocodone.


Does hydrocodone relieve pain in a person who is also on methadone maintenance?

No. The methadone works by binding the opioid receptors in your body. Hydrocodone is a weakened opiate derivative and therefore the two will not complement each other.


Are hydrocodones a barbiturate or an opiate?

Benzodiazepines are drugs with sedative qualities used to treat muscle spasms, convulsions, anxiety, and alcohol withdrawal. This is not the class of drugs that hydrocodone falls under. Hydrocodone is a opiate agonist, antitussive used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. The drug is considered to have similar sedative qualities in larger doses, but the recreational use is deterred due to the high content of acetaminophen.

Is hydrocodone an opitate?

The terms opiate and opioid have similar, yet slightly different, meanings. Properly, opiates are only narcotic analgesics derived from the opium poppy (codeine and morphine). Opioids are narcotic analgesics that have similar activity to opiates (heroin, oxycodone, fentanyl, methadone, etc.) Thus, hydrocodone is an opioid, not an opiate. However, these words are increasingly being used interchangeably, and some would now consider them to be synonymous.


Does percocet show up on drug test?

Yes, percocet (Oxycodone Hydrochloride) is an opioid derivative and shows up as an opiate on drug tests, along with Morphine, Dilaudid, Hydrocodone, etc.
