About this test
This urine test screens for oxycodone and oxymorphone, along with their metabolites, and is used to detect or monitor these prescription opioid medications. Oxycodone is a pain medication, and oxymorphone is both a related medication and a metabolite of oxycodone. The panel helps clinical and monitoring programs assess recent use, support medication adherence, and identify unexpected exposure. A positive screen is typically confirmed by a more specific method to improve accuracy.
What this test measures
- Oxycodone (Screen) An initial immunoassay that flags the possible presence of oxycodone in urine.
- Oxymorphone (Screen/Confirmation) A related opioid and metabolite of oxycodone that is included in the panel.
- Oxycodone Metabolites Breakdown products such as noroxycodone confirmed to support an accurate result.
- Oxymorphone Metabolites Breakdown products such as noroxymorphone included in the confirmation.
Who this test may be right for
- People prescribed oxycodone or oxymorphone being monitored
- Individuals in medication adherence programs
- Patients whose provider needs to confirm opioid use
- People undergoing clinical substance use assessment
Before your visit
- No special preparation is usually needed
- Disclose all prescription and over-the-counter opioids and other medicines
- Avoid excessive fluid intake before collection
- Follow instructions from your testing program
Understanding your results
A positive result indicates oxycodone, oxymorphone, or their metabolites are present. Because these medications can remain detectable for varying periods, the result does not show when or how much was taken, and it cannot by itself distinguish prescribed use from other use. A negative result may mean the substance is below the detection limit. Discuss your result and what it means for your care with a healthcare provider.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between oxycodone and oxymorphone?
Both are opioid medications. Oxymorphone can also be produced in the body as a metabolite of oxycodone, so the panel looks for both to give a fuller picture.
Why are metabolites included in this oxycodone panel?
Metabolites such as noroxycodone and noroxymorphone are breakdown products. Confirming them strengthens the result and reduces the chance of a false positive.
Can prescribed oxycodone cause a positive result?
Yes. If you take prescribed oxycodone or oxymorphone, the test is expected to be positive. Disclose your prescriptions so the result can be interpreted correctly.
How long does oxycodone stay in urine?
Detection windows vary with dose, frequency, metabolism, and the test used. A positive result does not reveal the exact time of use.
