Xtampza does show up as oxycodone in your urine.
The active ingredient in Xtampza is oxycodone, and so standard urine tests that look specifically for oxycodone or it's metabolites will return a positive test result.
Although not all basic, in office "opiates" or "opioids" urine screen tests detect oxycodone reliably and so an expanded or specific oxycodone test is often required and some labs will report the urine drug concentration as negative if it falls below a specified cut off threshold.
Xtampza is also not the same as Percocet although both Xtampza and Percocet contain oxycodone.
Percocet contains both oxycodone (immediate release) and also acetaminophen (Tylenol) and is often used for short term and as needed for acute pain.
Xtampza ER is a long acting, extended release capsule that is taken every 12 hours for chronic pain.
Percocet also has 2 active ingredients which are acetaminophen and oxycodone.
The acetaminophen limits the maximum dosage of Percocet to prevent liver damage.
And Xtampza ER has only one active ingredient and is purely oxycodone that is designed with an abuse deterrent system to release the medication slowly and prevent tampering.
Percocet is a combination of immediate release oxycodone and acetaminophen.
Xtampza ER is also prescribed and taken for severe, around the clock pain, which requires long term treatment.
Percocet is designed for short term breakthrough pain and can't be taken long acting or continuously in the same manner.
Xtampza ER is only taken exactly every 12 hours with food and Percocet is taken every 4 hours to 6 hours as needed.
The generic name of Xtampza ER is oxycodone extended release and is a schedule II controlled substance.
Xtampza ER must be swallowed whole or the contents must be safely sprinkled onto soft foods like pudding or applesauce.
You should never crush, inject or snort Xtampza as it can cause a fatal overdose.
Common side effects of Xtampza include constipation, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and drowsiness.
Xtampza can also interact with some other medications and can cause fatal respiratory depression or coma when combined with alcohol, benzodiazepines or other central nervous system depressants.
