When Should I Take The Medicine?
I am prescribed 2 7.5 oxycodone a day. I didn t take any the last couple of days because I knew I would be having a couple of drinks and didn t want to mix anything. I am having a urine test tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM. If I take one 7.5 pill will it show up in a urine test? What time should I take it? Should it be the night before (tonight) or 4 hours before the test? Thanks.

Hello,
If you are going to get a urine test tomorrow, I think you should not take this medication. It will give false positive results.
In case you want the metabolites of this medication to show up in urine, then, you can take one 7.5 pill tonight. It will usually appear within a couple of hours of taking the first dose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
