Question : does nucynta and percocet show up as the same thing on a drug test

Answered by Dr. Sundar Gnanavel (9 minutes later)

Hello...........
Thanks for your query. Both nucynta (tapentadol) as well as percocet (oxycodone) are opioid agonist drugs and hence may cross-react. Both might show up similarly in an urine drug test. Hope that answers your query. Wish you good health.
