Oxycodone Screen And Confirmation (Urine Test)

The Oxycodone screen and confirmation test is used to detect the presence of oxycodone in a person's urine. Oxycodone is a powerful opioid medication that is commonly prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.

The screening test is typically performed first, using an immunoassay method to quickly determine if oxycodone is present in the urine sample. If the screening test is positive, a confirmation test is then conducted using a more specific method, such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). This confirmation test provides more accurate and detailed information about the presence of oxycodone in the urine.

It is important to note that the results of the test should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of the individual's medical history and any other medications they may be taking. A positive result for oxycodone may indicate recent use or misuse of the medication, while a negative result does not necessarily rule out the possibility of oxycodone use.
