will hydrocodone 7.5/750 show up the same as 5/500 in a urine or hair drug test
I have a prescription for hydrocodone 5/500. I have been taking a 1/2 of 7.5/750 nightly. Will a urine or hair drug test be able to tell the difference in my taking 1/2 of 7.5/750 versus my prescription for 5/500?
Best Answer
The drug screens will only show either a positve or negative result. The labs (I'm assuming they will check therapeutic level) will show the level of hydrocodone and its metabolites in your system. Neither of these tests have the ability to show which dosage of hydrocodone you have used, but bear in mind...half of a 7.5 is less than the 5 so your levels will likely be less than they should be. Please note - the 750 and 500 are merely the doses of acetaminophen in that particular pill. Conventional drug screens do not pick up the acetaminophen levels, just the narcotic substance but if specified (and it usually isn't) acetaminophen levels can be checked. Hope this helps.
