    If You Have A Legal Prescription For Lortabs And Your Hair Test Shows Positive Will The Prescription Satisfy The Employer?

    And will the test show the amount of opiates in the sample? Don't know when the test may be scheduled. Thanks for any advice and help!

    The lortab contains acetaminophen which is a opioid derivatives. This can show positive in test for at least 100 days in hair follicles. The prescription of this drug will also show the disease for which you are taking Lortab. If the disease is permanent and can cause disturbances in your official work, the employer will not accept this.

    Acetaminophen is NOT an opioid derivative...it's tylenol. The hydrocodone is the opiate...jeez. Lortab is acetaminophen/hydrocodone.

      Drug tests are generally used to detect the presence of ILLEGAL drugs, if the prescription is old, still is your prescription and therefore legal. You can take a pain pill prescribed for one kind of pain, lets say you twisted something while gardening or [you make something up], and then have bad cramps or something else that causes severe pain and take that pain pill, so it is legal. They won't say anything about legal drugs in system, unless they are present in such abundance that they would cause job inability. Yes a legal prescription should satisfy your employer, tooth ache while clearing up infected tooth, is a good story, employers hate toothaches and they don't want details!
