HI! I was offered a job today, provided I have a clean drug test. They gave me the slip for the lab %26amp; I'm going first thing in the morning. My question is, I was prescribed Vicodin after getting a tooth pulled this morning. Do I bring the bottle with to show them at the lab, because it will definitely show up. I don't want to be denied employment because I'm taking the drug, temporarily, for a legitimate reason.
How and when do I explain I'm temporarily on Vicodin when I take a pre-employment drug test tomorrow?
When they do the drug screen before the test, they ask about medications, doctor who prescribed it and the reason you need it.
Reply:If I were you I'd take the prescription bottle with me and tell them upfront. Not doing so would lead them to believe you have something to hide, and it'll be a lot harder to prove otherwise, when you are no longer taking it.
Hope this helps.
Reply:tell them as soon as you go in, show them the bottle and give them your dentists name and phone number, this is classed as prescribed medication not 'drugs', they will understand. enjoy your job.
Reply:Do as you say!
