Detection Period: 2 to 4 days after use
Detection Level: 100 ng/mL (with Oxycodone as the calibrator*)
Brief Description of Drug: Oxycodone provides relief from chronic pain and has an origin similar to heroin. It is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from thebaine, an opioid alkaloid found in the Persian poppy.
Typically Prescribed For:
- Chronic pain management
- Post-surgical pain relief
Effects:
Forms: Capsules, liquids, tablets
Methods of Consumption: Swallowed, snorted, injected
This oxycodone drug test is a urine drug test that specifically targets oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are the primary ingredients in many of the most commonly abused prescription drugs, including OxyContin, Roxicodone, Vicodin, Percocet, Percodan, and Tylox.
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid. It is a primary active ingredient in prescription drugs frequently prescribed as painkillers. While it can be very helpful in relieving chronic pain, when abused, oxycodone can provide an almost heroin-like high. OxyContin, a prescription formulation of oxycodone, is one of the most frequently abused oxycodone-based painkillers. It comes in various dosages and colors.
Common Oxycodone Products: This test can detect various forms of oxycodone, including:
- OxyContin
- Percocet
- Percodan
- Roxicodone
With this home drug test, once the urine sample is collected, you will have your result within 5 minutes. The results are very easy to read:
- Negative Result: Two lines will appear—one in the Control Region and one in the Test Region.
- Positive Result: No line will appear in the Test Region, but a line will appear in the Control Region, indicating that the test was conducted successfully.
A positive result means that the drug concentration in the urine sample is greater than the designated cutoff/detection level for oxycodone.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test card and/or test strip, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30 degrees Celsios) prior to testing.
DIRECTIONS FOR SINGLE TEST CARD
- Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
- Remove the cap.
- With the arrow pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test card vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Immerse the strip to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the test card. Replace the cap and place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface.
- Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
- The result should be read at 5 minutes. Results may be stable up to 1 hour after test initiation.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C), and another apparent colored line should be in the test region(T). This negative result indicates that the marijuana concentration is below the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
*NOTE: The shade of color in the test line region (T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.
POSITIVE: One colored line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (T). This positive result indicates that the marijuana concentration exceeds the detectable level (50 ng/mL).
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test card or test strip. If the problem persists, discontinue use of the lot immediately and contact your distributor.
1. Can prescription medications cause a positive drug test for oxycodone?
Answer: Yes, certain prescription medications containing oxycodone, hydrocodone, or hydromorphone can cause a positive drug test. It is important to inform the testing administrator about any prescription medications you are taking and provide documentation from your healthcare provider. This will help differentiate between legitimate medical use and illicit use.
2. How effective are instant home drug tests for detecting oxycodone?
Answer: Instant home drug tests for oxycodone are highly convenient and provide quick results, often within minutes. They are designed to be user-friendly, making them accessible for anyone to administer. When used correctly, these tests offer accurate detection of oxycodone use, helping to identify recent drug use efficiently. While laboratory-based tests are more comprehensive, home tests are a reliable first step in screening and can be followed up with lab confirmation if needed. The combination of convenience, speed, and accuracy makes instant home drug tests a valuable tool for families, small businesses, and schools looking to maintain a drug-free environment.
3. What are the detection times for oxycodone?
Answer: Oxycodone can be detected in urine by our oxycodone test for as long as 2 to 4 days after it enters the urine.
4. What are the street names for oxycodone?
Answer: Kicker, OC, Oxy, OX, Blue, Oxycotton, Hillybilly Heroin.
5. Does this test also detect suboxone (buprenorphine)?
Answer: No, this test does not cross-react with suboxone. The only test we carry that tests for suboxone is our Suboxone / Buprenorphine drug test. If someone is taking suboxone they will NOT test positive for oxycodone if you administer this test.
6. Can I just use an opiates test instead?
Answer: The opiates test is designed for drugs like codeine and morphine. Morphine and codeine are opiates. The compounds are found in the opium poppy. Oxycodone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone are semi-synthetic opioids, meaning that they are made up from opiates but are not found in nature. While oxycodone for example can cause a positive on an opiates urine drug test, it won’t always. That is why we sell this product, which specifically targets semi-synthetic opioids at a 98% accuracy level and a much lower, more appropriate detection level (300 ng/mL v. 2000 ng/mL on the opiates test).
7. What are the short term effects of oxycodone?
Answer: Pain relief, sedation, euphoria, feelings of relaxation, respiratory depression, constipation, papillary constriction, and cough suppression. A 10 mg dose of orally-administered oxycodone is equivalent to a 10 mg dose of subcutaneously administered morphine as an analgesic in a normal population. Oxycodone’s behavioral effects can last up to 5 hours. The drug is most often administered orally. The controlled-release product, OxyContin®, has a longer duration of action (8-12 hours).
8. What are the long term effects of oxycodone?
Answer: As with most opiates, oxycodone abuse may lead to dependence and tolerance. Acute overdose of oxycodone can produce severe respiratory depression, skeletal muscle flaccidity, cold and clammy skin, reduction in blood pressure and heart rate, coma, respiratory arrest, and death.
9. What is the difference between Oxycodone and OxyContin, and OxyContin and Tylox, for example?
Answer: OxyContin and Tylox are both prescription medications that contain varying amounts of oxycodone. Oxycodone is their active ingredient, which is why this test is an Oxycodone Test - its testing for the active ingredient common to all these medicines. However, OxyContin contains between 10 and 160 milligrams of oxycodone in a timed-release tablet. Painkillers such as Tylox contain 5 milligrams of oxycodone and often require repeated doses to bring about pain relief because they lack the timed-release formulation.
10. How popular is oxycodone?
Answer: According to Monitoring the Future (MTF), rates of nonmedical use of prescription painkillers are relatively high among teenagers and include a significant increase in the abuse of OxyContin among twelfth graders. The 2005 MTF shows annual use of OxyContin by 12th graders has risen from 4.0 percent in 2002 to 5.5 percent in 2005. Oxycodone has established itself as a popular new drug of abuse; and we have therefore this oxycodone drug test to help you be sure as to whether a loved one is abusing this drug.
11. How Is OxyContin Used?
Answer: OxyContin, also referred to as “Oxy,” “O.C.,” and “killer” on the street, is legally prescribed as a timed-release tablet that provides up to 12 hours of relief from chronic pain. The benefit of the medication to chronic pain sufferers is that they generally need to take the pill only twice a day, whereas a dosage of another medication would require more frequent use to control the pain.
12. How Is OxyContin Abused?
Answer: OxyContin abusers either crush the tablet and ingest or snort it or dilute it in water and inject it. Crushing or diluting the tablet disarms the timed-release action of the medication and causes a quick, powerful high. Abusers have compared this feeling to the euphoria they experience when taking heroin. In fact, in some areas, the use of heroin is overshadowed by the abuse of OxyContin. This is one of the reasons we provide an OxyContin Test - this is a very dangerous drug.
13. How Does OxyContin Abuse Differ From Abuse of Other Pain Prescriptions?
Answer: Abuse of prescription pain medications is not new. Two primary factors, however, set OxyContin abuse apart from other prescription drug abuse. First, OxyContin is a powerful drug that contains a much larger amount of the active ingredient, oxycodone, than other prescription pain relievers. By crushing the tablet and either ingesting or snorting it, or by injecting diluted OxyContin, abusers feel the powerful effects of the opioid in a short time, rather than over a 12-hour span. Second, great profits are to be made in the illegal sale of OxyContin. A 40-milligram pill costs approximately $4 by prescription, yet it may sell for $20 to $40 on the street, depending on the area of the country in which the drug is sold.
OxyContin can be comparatively inexpensive if it is legitimately prescribed and if its cost is covered by insurance. However, the National Drug Intelligence Center reports that OxyContin abusers may use heroin if their insurance will no longer pay for their OxyContin prescription, because heroin is less expensive than OxyContin that is purchased illegally. These are all reasons why an oxycodone test is on the home drug test market.
14. Why Are So Many Crimes Reportedly Associated With OxyContin Abuse?
Answer: Many reports of OxyContin abuse have occurred in rural areas that are often located in economically depressed areas, as well. Therefore, people for whom the drug may have been legitimately prescribed may be tempted to sell their prescriptions for profit. Substance abuse treatment providers say that the addiction is so strong that people will go to great lengths to get the drug, including robbing pharmacies and writing false prescriptions.
15. How Can I Determine Whether a User Is Dependent on Rather Than Addicted to OxyContin?
Answer: When pain patients take a narcotic analgesic as directed, or to the point where their pain is adequately controlled, it is not abuse or addiction. Abuse occurs when patients take more than is needed for pain control, especially if they take it to get high. Patients who take their medication in a manner that grossly differs from a physician’s directions are probably abusing that drug.
16. What is the significance of using Oxycodone as the calibrator in drug testing?
Answer: Using Oxycodone as the calibrator means that the test is specifically designed to detect oxycodone at a cutoff level of 100 ng/mL. This ensures that the test is sensitive to the presence of oxycodone and related opioids like hydrocodone and hydromorphone, providing accurate results for recent use.
