The two chemicals are almost the same. Another name for codeine is "methylmorphine," or basically a morphine molecule with a Methyl group on the #3 carbon.
In the body, enzymes in the liver typically remove this methyl group to convert codeine into plain old morphine. Typically about 10% of codeine is converted to morphine. A typically dose of codeine for an adult might be 30mg. With a 10% conversion rate, that's about 3mg of morphine.

Would codeine show as morphine in a urine drug screen?
On a simple urine test,Codeine and Morphine will show up as the same thing. This is because Codeine is metabolized to Morphine in the liver. So the Morphine metabolites are excreted in urine. Usually when this happens, the next step is to analyze the levels of these metabolites to deduce whether it was Codeine or Morphine consumed. On a GC/MS test,this test will show the molecular fingerprint of any drug(s) consumed.
You did one line of heroin two months ago will it show up in a hair follicle?
Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine. Relative levels of codeine and morphine can help determine their origin.
Is morphine in codeine?
Yes, codeine is methylated morphine.
Will tylenol4 come up as a opiate in your urine?
yes tylenol #4w/codeine will show up as a natural opiod .i/e morphine and codeine are both actual non synthetic opiods
What will hydrocodone show up has in your blood drug test?
because hydrocodone is an opiate, it will show up as an opiate in your system. so will codeine, morphine, Oxycontin, and other opiate derivatives.
What drugs show up as an opiate on a urine test?
Morphine, heroin, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and any other drug that is a derivative of opium.
What is the generic name of morphine?
morphine sulphate
Does codeine show up as cocaine in a drug test?
co-codamol is tablet containing paracetamol and codeine, an opiate from the same family as heroin. codeine will show up in a urine test if you have taken it in the last 3-7 days, it can also show as morphine because of the way it metabolises in your body.
Is codiene morphine?
Codeine converts to morphine after passing through the liver, although very little, but some.
Does codeine cough syrup show up in a drug test?
of course, codeine is an opiod which in a urine test can be detected within 2-4 days of use.
Can Tylenol and codeine be detected in a drug test?
Codiene is an opiate so unfortunately it registers as just that. Codeine is a precursor of morpheine and after it metabolises it changes to morpheine. So unless your test can distinguish somehow which drug you have taken, its anyones guess whether you were shooting heroin or taking cold and flu pills.
Does morphine show up as heroine in a drug test?
Well...Morphine, heroin, codeine and any other drug made from opium poppies shows up as the same thing: Morphine. Opiates go through a two-phase metabolism in your body. The first is where the body converts any opiate that isn't already morphine to morphine. Once that's done - it's VERY quick - your body then uses the morphine.
