They are both opiates and will show up on a drug test. It will show in a urine test but it will be more accurate in a hair follicle analysis. A hair follicle test will show for quite a while what you have used and for how long.

∙ 2009-01-06 02:43:37No, Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) does not show up in the basic opiate test which is part of the standard drug test. The opiate tests look for morphine (which both codeine and heroin break down into). Hydromorphone does not break down into morphine. But also hydromorphone can be detected with a simple drug test.
No. They are, however, very similar. In fact, I believe that the rush from heroin is actually lots of morphine being formed from heroin being metabolised. The levels of morphine in the blood from this are higher than you could obtain from plain morphine. (I think) Another name for heroin is diacetylmorphine. Morphine has two OH groups on its molecule. These are replaced with acetyl groups to form heroin.
Heroin is not legal in the USA...however morphine is...."Morphine" as it is commonly referred to, is morphine sulfate. Heroin is diacetyl morphine. That is, heroin is simply morphine with an acetyl molecule attached. In terms of effects, they are exactly the same -- and medically interchangeable -- except for dosage. In fact, they are both converted to the same form of morphine when they get into the body. The only significant difference between them is that the acetyl molecule allows heroin to cross the blood-brain barrier more quickly than ordinary morphine. The result is that, in terms of dosage, heroin is about three times stronger than morphine. That is, one grain of heroin equals about three grains of morphine. Otherwise, they are identical and there is no significant difference that would justify heroin being completely illegal...
Yes a doctor run a tox screen and tell the difference. Though both are in the same drug family they are very different and their metabolites are different. For instance if you submit a urine sample while using heroin and Oxycontin and it is put through a gc/ms the doctor would know Oxycontin and another opiate had been used. The heroin will probably show up as morphine since heroin breaks down into morphine in the body. The doctor may not however tell the difference between morphine and heroin.
co-codamol is tablet containing paracetamol and codeine, an opiate from the same family as heroin. codeine will show up in a urine test if you have taken it in the last 3-7 days, it can also show as morphine because of the way it metabolises in your body.
No, they are both opiates and will show the same. Same with painkillers, lortabs, vicadin, oxycottons & roxesettes all show the same on drug test as if you were doing heroin. Zanax will show as a barbituate not opiate. So if your Doctor issues you any of those listed above you will show positive for opiates (same as heroin).

Heroin actually shows up as morphine in a drug test. ALL opiates, except for morphine which is already morphine, have morphine as their first-stage metabolite. You do heroin, it changes to morphine. Do codeine, it changes to morphine.So...any drug that is an opiate shows up as "opiates." Poppy seeds used to do this, but they've adjusted the cutoff to the point you'd have to eat a pound of poppy seeds to come up hot on a drug test.Heroin will show up as morphine in a drug test. There are some drug tests that are not specific for example all opiates come up the same. The test will not tell the difference between vicodin and heroin, it will come up the same. All heroin is morphine with an added chemicals to magnify its potency.Diacetylmorphine
morphine. heroin and morphine are almost the exact same thing. H is also morphine diacetate, making it a prodrug, and basically that means heroin is like a vessel for delivering morphine to the body more efficiently than morphine that hasn't undergone acetylation.
On a urine test will morphine and hydromorphone show on the same test
Morphine is very similar to heroin. They aren't the exact same. However they are both opiates
Morphine - it's the same as heroin

Its an opiate. Like heroin. So bout the same
It is an opiate, in the same class as opium, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, codeine, methadone, etc. So it will show up as an opiate.
Urine tests work by testing for metabolites of drugs, which remain in the body longer than the initial drug itself and allow for a longer detection period. Codeine and heroin both produce the metabolite morphine and this is the primary metabolite screened for in standardized "opiate" tests in the US. However, heroin also produces a unique metabolite that codeine or morphine do not produce (6-monoacetyl-morphine). After initial positive testing, it is common to do further analysis to confirm the positive results and/or to determine specificity of what type of drug(s) are being used. And tests including 6-monoacetyl-morphine are available to either specify or rule-out heroin (although in theory, metabolites unique to codeine could be tested for as well).
