what drugs come up in a urine drug test?

Question

specifically what are they looking for?

Answer 1

I read a book called... Urine Trouble (Haha, because you're in trouble... okay, bad joke) when I was put on probation and had to take regular urine drug tests. It was great. Basically it checks for everything. Marijuana, Amphetamines, Barbituates.. everything, and also sometimes detects things under a certain drug category even when you didn't do drugs. I recommend reading that book, it helped me alot.

Answer 2

All drugs that they are testing for, when you take drugs, the body doesnt like it, and has to excrete it somehow, and because the rugs turn into a liquide in your body they come out your urine, so the answer is all drugs that you take will come up in a drug urine test.

Why do you ask this, what are you going to do?

Answer 3

All drugs you take show up in your urine. Not all drugs stay in your urine the same amount of time. When having a drug test each test is dependent on what the employer is testing for. It's probably cocaine and marijuana.

Answer 4

It's more on the order of what can't show up.

If you have a prescription, don't worry. If you're talking about something like Tylenol or some cough syrups (a syrup is a sugar-based cough medication, others are alcohol-based), don't worry. If it's most allergy medictions, don't worry.

As long as you are using something legal and for legitimate reasons, and your job doesn't include operating heavy machinery or driving, you really don't have anything to worry about.

If the above isn't the case, then your problem isn't the drug test but your own actions, and you need help.

Poppy seeds have nothing to do with cocaine. But the sap of some varieties of the poppy plant is raw heroin, so consuming a great deal of poppy seeds could show up as opiates.

Answer 5

Everything comes up and some drugs stay in your urine for 3 days to 3 months so be careful what you take.

Answer 6

Urine drug testing in the federally regulated workplace is currently recognized as the "Gold Standard" because of its proven accuracy, reliability, and fairness. Besides government, many private sector firms also prefer urine drug testing and urine drug test kits because of their proven accuracy, reliability, and fairness. Urine drug test kits are the least expensive and most flexible (meaning it is possible to test for many different drugs in different combinations) in testing drugs.

Results of a urine drug test detect the presence or absence of specific drugs in the urine. A positive urine test result does not necessarily mean that the donor was under the influence of drugs at the time of the test. Rather, it detects use of a particular drug within the previous few days. You can use these drug test kits to detect different types of drugs (up to 10 at a time).

Answer 7

They are looking for THC which is found in Marijuana, opiates and other chemicals that are related to Narcotics.

What will not come up on the tests are any pain medication, except for narcotics, antidepressants, cold medication, high blood pressure medication etc.

Use of some illegal drugs like cocaine can appear if your hair is tested. This is a method used to determine if you have been using the illegal drug for a long time.

Answer 8

Anything and everything can and will show up. Normally they would look for illegal drugs, but cold medicine + aspirin are detected and poppy seeds show up as if you smoked weed.

Answer 9

Weed, cocaine, heroine, crack, meth, etc. Sometimes prescription drugs come up as well, so if you take any prescriptions tell them about it up front.

What they are looking for depends on who "they" are: a job, a probation officer, a doctor etc.

Answer 10

If you have something in you, it ends up in your blood and then eventually your urine.
