A DOT 5 Panel Drug Test is:
These test classes were established decades ago, and include five specific drug groups. They do not account for current drug usage patterns. For example, the tests do not include "synthetic opiates", such as oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, etc., compounds that are highly abused in America:
1. Cannabinoids (marijuana, hashish)
2. Cocaine (cocaine, benzoylecognine, cocaethylene)
3. Amphetamines (amphetamine, methamphetamine)
4. Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)
5. Phencyclidine (PCP)
1 - 5 are the 5 Panel DOT Drug Test. Anything more (or less) is not a DOT drug test.
Synthetics will not show up.
They all metabolize the same. Some people on this site come off pretty convincing, a little scratching around will reveal their inner "buffoonery."
Your dentist didn't want to get sued if you mowed someone down.

YES IT DOES! When I had a tooth pulled, my denisit WOULD NOT prescribe me Vicoden because he knows what I do for a living. He said that if I got tested it will show up POSITIVE.

While the Opiate Panel can detect the presence of Hydrocodone, an MRO is not required to report the presence of Hydrocodone providing that it has been prescribed; nonetheless, it is detectable through DOT approved drug tests. That should not be confused with a driver being allowed to drive a commercial vehicle or a personal vehicle with it in his/her system; doing so IS prohibited.
In any event, particular to this thread, the presence of Hydrocodone would appear under the opiates panel, not the panel for cocaine.
