Opiates Rapid Urine Drug Tests
Detect Opiate Use
What are Opiates? Opiates like heroin, morphine, and codeine come from the opium poppy. They are metabolized into substances like morphine, morphine-3-glucuronide, normorphine, with a half-life around 3 hours.
Why Test for Opiates? Testing is crucial because heroin is rapidly converted to morphine in the body, meaning both morphine and its glucuronide can be detected in urine after heroin use. Similarly, codeine converts to morphine, making morphine detection indicative of heroin, morphine, or codeine use.
