Can oxycodone and heroin show up the same in blood test if the blood test is not for drugs specifically?

Answer 1

Your quesiton is somewhat confusing... But, in short; only codeine, morphine, & heroin are tested for in the standard urine analysis or blood test. A positive result would distinguish between heroin & oxycodone. With that said, oxycodone must be tested for separately in both tests & s not included on the basic/standardized testz (in both causes). However, in extended UA & blood tests methadone, hydrocodone, & oxycodone are most commonly included opiates/opioids.

Oxycodone & the opioids included on extended tests are especially screened if abuse is suspected. But to your advantage, blood tests for drug use are the most expensive; so unless oxycodone use is suspected, I doubt it would be tested for... especially if it's by an employer or the state in the U.S. (i.e., for welfare benefits. such as in FL). If it is related to a doctor visit and/or if the test is contingent upon you receiving a Rx, its more likely an extended test will be included in order to detect oxycodone. However, blood tests detect the actual drug itself (more akin to testing if you are currently under the influence), rather than a metabolite of the given drug, such as seen w/ urine tests. This means that the detection period is much shorter w/ blood tests--and testing for metabolites is can detect use within the last 3 days at the least. Usually even longer if the individual being tested has used daily, at high doses, and/or for a long period of time!

But no, to test for heroin & oxycodone two separate analyses must be done. A positive test for heroin will not detect or apply to oxycodone (and vice versa)
