Will herion show up alike as hydrocodone on a drug testing?
I am taking a drug test for work.
Answers:
how about you don't do drugs in the first place.
No is the short answer.
Hydrocodone and heroin hold different molecular structures.
No.
Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate derived from the naturally occurring opioids, codeine and thebaine.
Heroin (diacetylmorphine) is a semi-synthetic opiate derived from the naturally occurring opioid morphine.
Neither drug my be detected on a drug testing unless a specific test for either hydrocodone or diacetylmorphine is part of the drug check. However heroin will almost certainly be detected as an "opioid" because it breaks down to morphine, the primary drug tested for. Heroin also breaks down into 6-monoacetylmorphine, a metabolite only occurring from heroin. Thus, the presence of 6-monoacetylmorphine will indicate that heroin was used, not another drug. So if heroin be used it will always be detected, but it might not be known if it was heroin.
But the most essential drug tests only detect morphine which is the active metabolite of oodles drugs (including heroin and codeine). But often a hydrocodone test is preformed for work (oxycodone is also commonly tested for).
But heroin and hydrocodone certainly will not show up as equal drug. Source(s): I am a medical student at a research university in Montréal for both psychiatry and internal medicine. I have a specialist level (Hons. BSc) in pharmacology with a focus on psychopharmacology. I have interned underneath two psychiatrists, one neurologist, and at a chemical dependency rehabilitation centre. In addition I have worked as a pharmacy assistant.
