A member asked:

I drive a school bus. i took cough syrup w/ codeine on sat . if tested will it be out of my system by monday am?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Codeine: May be not but since the medication contained codeine it would have to have been prescribed for you which would explain why the test may be positive.
