 OPI 300 Opiates refers to any drug
that is derived from the opium poppy, including the natural products, morphine
and codeine, and the semi-synthetic drugs such as heroin. Opioid is more
general, referring to any drug that acts on the opioid receptor.
Opioid
analgesics comprise a large group of substances which control pain by
depressing the central nervous system. Large doses of morphine can produce
higher tolerance levels, physiological dependency in users, and may lead to
substance abuse. Morphine is excreted unmetabolized, and is also the major
metabolic product of codeine and heroin. Morphine is detectable in the urine
for several days after an opiate dose.
The DRUGCHECK® Drug of Abuse
Test yields a positive result when the concentration of opiate exceeds the 300
ng/mL cut-off level.
