Default Can a urine test tell the difference between Morphine and Oxycontin? - 12-21-2008, 03:07 AM

Also... How long does morphine show up in urine tests?***NOTE***Neither of these drugs are being taken w/o a script. They changed my meds from my back surgery and I want to know for when I have to give a sample for a project I am working on. I will let them know my meds have changed, so they don't think I am taking ones I am not supposed to be taking.

Morphine will be in the urine for 2-3 Days, in the blood for 6 hours, and hair tests can find everything for 90+ days.Oxycontin is actually not Morphine, with a 2-4 day urine test, 16 hours in the blood and 90 days in the hair.Most labs test for opiates and leave it at that; but further tests can be run to check for the type in some cases based on other chemicals in the body.

Urine tests are competative immunobinding specific tests. They employ unique mixture of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to selectively identify the drugs like morphine and oxycontin. Urine results are +ve for 72 hrs.

Yes, it can because Oxycontin is synthetic and has chemical differences. Seen in the urine from one hour up to 1 -2 days for Oxy and 2 hours to 2 -3 days for Morphine.And to clarify what was said above, oxycontin is not"derived from codeine", only it's name was.It is derived from opium and taken from the thebaine part of the plant, while morphine or codiene are from separate alkaloids of the opium plant.Hope that helps.(If someone is taking either of these without a prescription please be careful. /psa)
