Pre-employment drug screening question

[Pumbaa_]

I have a question- I have never had to do a drug test for employment before-been with the same company for eons and now am making a change.

I have read the basics, but my specific question is on prescription drugs. I take tylenol#3 and Fiorinal with codeine for headaches. They are prescribed by my PCP. Will this show up on the test (I assume yes) and do I have to bring anything with me to prove this or will they contact my DR. or how does this work?

I am going tomorrow to pee in a cup and I did take a pill today. So I am adduming it will still be in my system and show up.
Any information anyone has would be great!
Thanks!

Definitely take the bottles with you and let them know!

Otherwise, they'll show up (either as Barbituates or Opiates, can't remember which) and they may become suspicious!

The form generally has a section for prescription drugs. I would definitely take the bottles and show them if they ask to see them. If not, just put on the form that you are taking the prescriptions. I have never been asked to show the bottle.

Fiorinal combines a barbiturate (butalbital) with codeine (an opiate).

That otta light things up like a Christmas tree in that lab!

Can you work on that stuff?

Thanks! LOL, light up like a xmas tree!
And I usually take the drugs at home and live on excedrin if a bad headache comes during the workday. Appreciate the help!
