Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:

In most cases, oxycodone (semi-synthetic opioid) gets out of the system within 24 to 72 hrs if taken one or two pills only. It is better to avoid this medicine during pregnancy period. Do periodic check up to your doctor.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.

Hello Dear,

Thanks for follow up query.

Yes, oxycodone can be detected on drug test if they do that. However, test should be done within 24-48 hrs as you have taken just 30 mg.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
