The hospital we had our last birth at have fentanyl through the epidural or some kind of opiate orally. I really wonder how they can even run these tests unless they don’t use any opiates
Most opiates on the other hand, would be rarely prescribed by doctors
From the article: “Codeine regulation varies widely across countries and states. In some states, including North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, and Iowa,1,2 pharmacists can dispense a small quantity of cough syrup containing codeine OTC. Based on individual state law, this information may not be logged into the prescription drug monitoring program, which may contribute to providers being unaware of their patients’ use of codeine.”
This is an exceedingly rare practice in the US however.
