Yes. All medication, even over the counter will show up in a unrinalysis. Of course, anything over the counter that shows up is acceptable, anything that is prescription, and not prescribed to you, is grounds for termination or employment offer withdrawl.

Exercise. Pot sticks to fat cells, so if you exercise and try to sweat it out and also drink lots of water (not too much where it will seem like you're hiding something) and you might have a chance. As far as what things will work to help you pass a drug test, I don't know, I've known people to take some stuff and it worked and other people to take the same thing and it didn't. Good luck.

Yes they can and as long as one is honest about it then there shouldn't be any problems. When I was on pain pills 5 years ago and was about to get hired for a job I did the drug screen and it came up positive. They asked for the pharmacy name and number to confirm that this was legitimate which I gave and all was ok. I didn't get the job but that was for a different reason.

They shouldn't, but when going for a piss test, tell them ALL you're taking, prescription or non prescription. You don't want a false positive. Too much BS,so let them know you're taking pain pills.

Yes, prescription pain medication will show up on a drug test. Bring your prescription bottle and you shouldn't have a problem.
Over the counter meds like advil, aleve and tylenol won't show up.

Yes. Any pain pills that are opiates will show up on the test - percocet, codiene, vicodin and such...

When they give those tests, they're looking for specific items. Those tests are not an "x-ray" of any consumable chemicals you've taken. Chances are they're specifically looking for pot, or uppers. If they had a test that would show "everything", it would cost them thousands of dollars, and they wouldn't spend that much. Good luck.

As long as they were prescribed for you, you have nothing to worry about. However, if they weren't (and are prescription drugs) yes they will show up. If you are taking over-the-counter meds, you also don't have anything to worry about.
