Study Notes
Opioid Duration in System
- Opioids typically remain detectable in the system for 3-4 days.
Oxycodone Classification
- Oxycodone is not classified as an opiate in urine analysis (UA).
Pain Management for Ankle Sprains
- Ibuprofen 400mg offers stronger pain relief than 5mg of oxycodone.
- Codeine is considered less potent than oxycodone.
Opioid Overdose Risks
- Risks for opioid overdose include increased dosage, use of long-acting opioids, concurrent use of sedatives, and illegal drug consumption.
Aberrant Drug-Related Behaviors
- Signs of aberrant behavior include stealing medication, altering prescriptions, obtaining prescriptions from multiple clinicians, requesting early refills, using illicit drugs, and making frequent phone calls.
- Notably, requesting an increased dose does not fall under aberrant behavior.
Substance Use Disorder Risks
- Risk factors for developing substance use disorder related to opioids include a history of other addictions (such as smoking), being male, past incarceration, family history of addiction, and PTSD.
Urine Analysis Considerations
- The less expensive and more specific urine analysis method is Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA).
- Substances such as methadone, oxycodone, buprenorphine, and fentanyl are not classified as opiates in this context.
Tramadol False Positives
- Tramadol may result in false positives for drugs such as PCP and buprenorphine.
