How Long Does Percocet Stay In The Blood Stream?

Hi. I have a hair follicle drug test coming up in roughly a week. I took 2-5mg percocet for pain approx 45 days ago. Will this produce a positive test? My employer says they use a test that can determine up to 2 years of drug use. Other than that i have never used drugs in my life.

Hello,

Percocet stays in the body for long and can be detected from the hair follicle even after six months. In your case, you have taken a very small dose and thus may not be detected in the test.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
