Specializes in Surgery - Thoracic

Depends on cut off.: An accurate drug test can measure very small concentrations of vicodin (hydrocodone and metabolites), but then there are "cutoff" levels, below which, are considered negative. A very dilute urine sample could also make the drug test negative.

Dr Hashemi and another doctor agreed
