What this test is
This test looks for oxycodone, a prescription opioid, and its breakdown products such as oxymorphone. It is commonly performed on a urine sample, though other sample types may be used depending on the lab. The test helps identify recent use of oxycodone or related compounds.
What it measures
- Oxycodone — The primary drug being tested for, indicating recent use.
- Oxymorphone — A metabolite of oxycodone, often detected alongside the parent drug.
- Noroxycodone — Another metabolite that can help confirm oxycodone use.
What the test involves
For a urine test, you provide a sample in a private collection area at the lab. If a blood test is ordered, a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm is performed.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this test to monitor adherence to a prescribed medication, to investigate unexplained symptoms, or as part of a workplace or legal testing program. It is also used in emergency settings when opioid toxicity is suspected.
Preparation
No special preparation is usually required, but you should follow any instructions provided by the collection lab. Tell the lab about all medications and supplements you are taking, as some may affect the results.
How results are reported
Results are reported as either negative or positive, sometimes with a numerical level for the detected substance. Reference ranges and cutoff values vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own standards.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does oxycodone stay detectable in urine?
Detection times vary based on dose, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and the sensitivity of the test. In general, oxycodone can be detected in urine for a few days after last use, but this window can be longer with heavy or chronic use.
Can foods or other medications cause a false positive?
Some substances, including certain prescription and over-the-counter medications, may cross-react with the test and cause a false positive. It is important to inform the lab and your clinician about everything you are taking so results can be interpreted correctly.
Is this test the same as a general opioid screen?
A general opioid screen may detect a broad range of opioids, while this test specifically targets oxycodone and its metabolites. Your clinician will choose the appropriate test based on what information is needed.
What should I do if I have questions about my results?
Contact the clinician who ordered the test to discuss your results and what they mean for you. The lab that performed the test can also provide information about its testing methods and cutoff levels.
