Is Hydrocodone Detected In Urine Tests?

default
Posted on Fri, 25 Apr 2014
Question: I had a urine test about five days after taking my last hydrocodone with tylenol. I had no problem taking the drug test, but now they want to talk to me about the test and I am concerned. Are they going to find some sort of hydrocodone in my system or give me a hard time about giving me another script. This time I had to sign an agreement while taking the pain medication with all kinds of do's and don'ts.

Brief Answer: Just to discuss the results with you Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this drug test and all the disturbing thoughts this has caused you. It is the standard of practice nowadays to regularly test the urine sample of clients on pain medications to make sure they are taking their medication normally and not passing them onto non deserving drug abusers. Unless, they clearly state that you have a problem that needs further attention or explanations, I will not want to think this is a possible reason why they are calling you back. I will recommend you stay calm. If you did nothing fishy, there is no need to get worried. Let's hear them out before trying to understand the exact reasons and interpreting. Ii hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarification if needed. Dr. Ditah, MD.
