Clinical Information
Oxymorphone is metabolized in the liver to noroxymorphone and excreted via the kidney primarily as the glucuronide conjugates. Oxymorphone is also a metabolite of oxycodone and, therefore, the presence of oxymorphone could also indicate exposure to oxycodone.
The detection interval for opiates is generally 2 to 3 days after last ingestion.
Interpretation
This procedure reports the total urine concentration; this is the sum of the unconjugated and conjugated forms of the parent drug.
Cautions
Other drugs in the opioid class, such as fentanyl, meperidine, methadone, and opiate antagonists such as naloxone, are not detected.
