Urine Sample Question

Post by Mattious »

Hi ,

I have my ADSC next week , But got a niggly problem, Monday just passed I had a tooth removed ( Fun times ... not haha) as a precaution to kill any infection / also to prevent any infection they have provided me with a perscription of penicillin but am slighty concerned as to wether this will show up on my urine sample? Anyone know?.

Many thanks in advance

Matt

It "probably" will come up in the sample test, but why worry its a prescribed drug?

You wouldn't get deferred for having something in your system which has been prescribed - it'll be on your medical records.
I don't think they're really going to be worried about penicillin anyway, it doesn't tend to be the kind of drug that people abuse...
:lol:

Will move this into the right place for you...
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.

If it is only penicillin in system I can't see that it is a problem, now if they gave morphine or some thing similar then you had best mention it

Thanks for moving my thread ! :D

Yes it was only penicillin that was perscribed. I've come along way and waited a long time to get to this stage ( Being a re-enlister ) so I was being paranoid that the perscription drug would hinder the process of my ADSC thats all, but thank you for the clarification.

Regards

Matt
