This urine test screens for oxycodone and its metabolite oxymorphone, which are semi-synthetic opioids often prescribed for pain. Many general opiate assays do not reliably detect oxycodone, so a targeted test is used. A presumptive positive can be confirmed with a specific analytical method to document the exact compound present. Because it targets oxycodone and oxymorphone specifically, the test can detect these opioids even when a broad opiate screen does not.

• Oxycodone A semi-synthetic opioid pain medication detected in urine.
• Oxymorphone A metabolite of oxycodone and a medication in its own right, detected in urine.

• A clinician wants to assess oxycodone or oxymorphone exposure specifically.
• You take a prescribed oxycodone product and monitoring is needed.
• You are in a pain-management or monitoring program with opioid testing.
• A general opiate screen is not sensitive enough and a targeted test is required.

• No fasting is required for this urine test.
• Provide a fresh sample at the collection site.
• Report all opioid pain medications and their doses to the testing provider.
• Avoid excessive fluids immediately before collection to prevent dilution.

A negative result suggests oxycodone and oxymorphone were not detected above the cutoff. A positive result can reflect prescribed use or use of oxycodone, and it may be confirmed with a specific method that separates oxycodone from oxymorphone and other opioids. Detection time in urine depends on dose and individual metabolism. Discuss the findings with a healthcare provider, particularly in pain-management contexts.
