vicodin...

Answer: Hydrocodone is the generic for Vicodin.

Hydrocodone is a controlled drug in the United States and is sold by prescription.

It's a semi-synthetic opioid derived from either of two naturally occurring opiates -codeine and thebaine. Hydrocodone is an orally active narcotic analgesic (pain reliever) and antitussive (cough suppressant).

Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin, which as you may know is a narcotic. Lorcet is also another name. Other drugs like it are Percocet (Oxycodone), and Fentanyl. Nucynta (Tapentadol) is a newer drug that was approved by the FDA in 2008, that has an opiate in it, but also an analgesic, which is why many pain management doctors seem to be switching their patients to it.

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.
