Will Percocet Show Positive When Taken 5 Hours Before Urine Test?
Question: I need to know if I took a 5mg dose of percocet about 5hrs before the urine test, will it show positive? Im on a heavy dose and my dr usually nev er tests me and I ran out of my meds early so when she tested me I came back clean so I had to provide another test and I took a 5/325 mg a few hrs before, will I test positive? ??? I pray I do!!!!!!!!!
Brief Answer:
5hours is sufficiently long to have it in your urine!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
5hours is a long enough time for percocet to be present in your urine. I have no doubts this test would return positive. Please, always report all difficulties in controlled substances to your doctor as it can cause difficulties with future prescriptions. This often happens when a doctor begins to suspect you might be using the drugs for other purposes like when you have an unexpected clean urine test.
In all, 5hours is sufficiently long to have a positive urine test. I pray it turns out so that you can be over this lingering fear of being suspected of misusing your drugs.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
