It stays a bit longer than cocaine. about 5 days in both cases but a bit less iwth cocaine and a bit more for oxycodone but 7 days is pretty safe. This does of course depend on sensitivities. The US army tests are very INSENSITIVE for their cut offs. Most other places are highly sensitive. ON THE OTHER HAND, they test for heroin. The heroin dipstick test is not necessarily reliable to detect oxycodone. It needs its own specific test for it.
And, either suboxone doesn't show up as heroin (probably right) or my patients don't take their suboxone (less likely).
