No: it contains, obviously, codeine which will show up as an opiate (and is also metabolized into morphine). It also contains a barbiturate, bultalbital, which will also show up as positive. I would worry more about using drugs when you are subject to drug testing, and the level of severity of your drug problem, as you do about getting caught.

Fioricet codeine: Your drug test will likely show codeine which is a narcotic and butalbital which is a barbituate. However, if the medication was legally prescribed for you, you can provide that information to whoever the results go to.
