Yes, it show as an opiate.

Answer by Open.Communication
It’s going to show as an opiate, which is commonly checked for in most drug tests. More extensive testing would need to be conducted in order to determine the specific type of opiate. Depending on the purpose for the drug test i.e. pre-employment you’d be required to show documentation of a prescription for an opiate. If you have a prescription, your best avenue is to inform the entity that is requiring the drug test before hand as to avoid any confusion.
