Question : will someone fail a drug screen for morphine if you are prescribed tylenol #3 with codine?
Brief Answer:
Codeine and morphine would show up in the urine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Both codeine and morphine may show up in the urine test after taking Tylenol with codeine. Morphine : codeine ratio would be less than 1. This is because Morphine is one of the metabolic products of Codeine.
So it is better to avoid any codeine containing preparation for 3 days prior to testing of narcotics.
Take Care,
