What Causes Negative Urine Drug Test While On Oxycodone?

I took a urine drug test, it came out negative. I am on oxycodone 5, twice a day 7:00/8:00 am and 11:00/12:00, I took the test at about 9:30 am, I do drink a lot of water and my urine is very clear. It should have been positive. How could this happen?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may depend on the accuracy of the test. All tests have potential false negatives and false positives.

No test is completely accurate though it may have a high level of accuracy.

Most initial drug tests are screening tests but there are additional tests that can be done to get a more accurate picture eg GC_MS drug testing

I hope this helps
