Will hydrocodone show up in a drug test?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes. Hydrocodone will be detected in the same drug class as heroin. Hydrocodone is a prescription drug. It is therefore assumed that you have a legitimate prescription. As part of pre-employment type drug testing, you should be asked which drugs have been legally prescribed to you.
