Can Vicodin Show Up In A Urine Drug Test?

Hi Dr I took a drug test on Friday and unfortunately the results came back inconcuslive I have been taking vicodin for tooth pain. Today I started the job and they pulled me into hr to let me know of the results. My Question is when the urin was sent to the lab what exactly are the looking for? Are they looking for the amount are they looking for what type of pain killer it is? I felt like I was so honest and now I feel like such a loser.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Yes, Vicodin can show up in urine drug test.
2. You were right in being honest, as if detected without you accepting its presence, would have amounted to addiction.
3. They were looking for any sort of drug abuse. Vicodin is one of the commonest analgesic to be abused.

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
