9 years and still getting answers. I had forgotten all about this and feel stupid for ever asking this question. Does anyone know how to delete it?

I am absolutely amazed at how clueless people are when it comes to opioid and opiate medications.
While it is true that Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are both Opioids, it is not true that they will show the same result from a urine test.
UA (Urinalysis) test for the drug itself and for the metabolite, which is an enzyme that the body uses to break down the drug.
The metabolite for Oxycodone is Oxymorphone
and the Metabolite for Hydrocodone is Hydromorphone. Of course there are others but these are the main ones.
What most Basic UA do test for is Morphine which is what Morphine, Heroin, Codeine, Etc. are broken down into. Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are not converted into morphine in the body.
Most basic UA do not test for these substances as they require more sophisticated testing such as a GC/MS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry ) However, if you are on probation, parole or receiving a test from your medical practitioners office or a Government entity then it is highly probable that they will test for Hydrocodone and Oxycodone and most other substances of abuse.

RE:
does hydrocodone and oxycodone show up as the same thing on a urine test?

Some of these answers are flat out wrong! There are 2 categories of narcotics painkillers, you have Opiates and Opioids. Opiates are natural and Opioids are man made. Opiates on a drug test such as codeine, morphine and heroin will show up as Opiates on a drug screen because they all metabolize in the body back into the opiate they test for. Oxycodone and hydrocodone are Opioids, and do not metabolize into the same metabolite that opiates do. Therefore it will not show up on your standard 5 panel drug screen. As far as Hydrocodone showing up as Oxycodone, I wouldn't risk it, these drugs are very closely related. Although they can be differentiated in a lab.

Metabolites Of Hydrocodone

Hogle29 is correct. Initial screening will be positive for opiates as a general category. Confirmation by GCMS, if it is done, will distinguish hydrocodone as hydromorphone and oxycodone as oxymorphone.
If this is a five drug panel as for a DOT or other exam the test will be negative for both because the five panel does NOT include tests for semisynthetic opiates and the confirmation test will be negative. The five panel which is the most commonly done test ONLY tests for codeine and morphine in the narcotic class.

all I have to say is if you are on probation and the doctor gave opiates you better of been in a serious accident and even then you have to have the meds approved by your P.O. so when you get out you need to go to the records department and get your results from any meds given in the er and even then if your P.O. don't think you were hurt bad enough to need pain meds they can be a--holes and violate you anyways. ive seen it happen and seen P.O.'s say that there are to many people who go to the er just to get opiates so if you go to the er and get opiates you better be hurt and I mean hurt.

Yes these show up as the same thing as they are both in the narcotic catergory. Urine drug screens do not label individual drugs but group them into 5-6 main catergorys. Hope this helps

Likely, they'll both show up as opiates.
It depends on how "sophisticated" the test is.
