will vomiting from flu cause urine test to be negative?

[Neobeautie]

I have been in pain management for several years.  I have a pain contract.  I have had urine tests and never had an issue.  I take meds as directed.

Over the past week, I have been sick with some sort of stomach bug, vomiting, diarrhea etc. Friday, I had my normal 3 month appt at pain management and had to give a urine sample. I am concerned that when they test me for my meds, not enough if any will be detected due to the vomiting. Is this a cause for concern or am I being paranoid?

I agree.  Most opiates go in the system very quickly so unless you vomited immediately after each dose you should be okay.  If anything, all that will make you dehydrated and your urine will be concentrated and show a higher than normal amount.  I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi:

You should not be alarmed. Vomiting and Diarrhea will not cause your test to be different from what your taking. Ask a Pharmacist if you're comcerned..that might be the best thing to do.
Pleased take care,
