The active narcotic in Lortab is Hydrocodone and like most other narcotics, it is detectable for approximately 4 days, after taking it. The time frame, however, can vary from person to person, depending on many other factors.

However, if you have a prescription for it, all you have to do is inform them of this, when you go in for testing. They can't deny you the use of legally prescribed medications, except in certain very rare instances, like for airline pilots.

Johnney, it is possible, but as I said in my original post, there is no way to say with any certainty, due to the individual factors of your own body affecting it.

Increased fluid intake can help, but if you overdo it, then your urine will also be greatly watered down, which could alert them to a problem.

Papa, the Alprazolam is a Benzodiazepine and they are actually the most problematic for urine tests, because they can be detectable for as long as 6 weeks, after last taking them.

Jo-Jo, the Hydrocodone in Lortab can be detectable in urine for approximately 4 to 5 days, after taking it.

There is no way to give an exact time frame, because individuating factors are always going to play a role, such as your own metabolism, overall health, activity levels and etc.

unfortunately, having a prescription for lortabs (or any narcotic) in some professions doesn't matter. If you have a cdl (license) and you test positive for any narcotic,the DOT will NOT let you drive for 60 days, even though you have a prescription. I just found this out the hard way.

Re: I know (# 91) Expand Referenced Message

2-4 days..12 panel tests for nor hydrocodone and hydromorphone metabolites. Norhydrocodone has the longest half life about 9 hours. It takes 5-7 half life’s to get out of your urine completely. Worst case scenario 7 half-life’s times 9 =63 hours. Don’t drink alcohol stay hydrated. Drink lemon/lime water and take green tea pills both are antioxidants and both both speed your metabolism. Take B vitamins vitamins and cranberry pills thru the day and a milk thistle before bed as it will help build up more of the toxins in your liver over night and shorten the time it takes to pass. I took 2 ten’s a day for a month. Then took 8 10’s and to 7.5 oxy’s in two days. Quit and was passing in 47.5 hours. I gave myself a week to be sure and was clean in 2 days. Even took a 15 panel cup with oxy, opiates and morphine panels. Also had PH, specific gravity and creatine levels on the cup. All my levels were right. I have a prescription for Xanax and my body still had to process those as well and had no problem in 48 hours. If you just be healthy and have no pre existing health issues, Kidney/Liver problems it will not take 7 days. I have taken 3 30’s OC’s and still passed at 60 hours. Order 12 panels on Amazon and take them every 48. Give your self a week to be safe you will learn your own body chemistry and realize it is 48-96 hours. Make sure the 12 panel has a opiate cut off at 2000ng. And a morphine panel at 300ng. And a Oxy panel the ng is always the same on that panel.

Hello all to answer you're questions I am in pain management.. I am on Suboxone that saved my life because I was addicted to hydrocodone! I slipped up and took 10 pills a day or more for 6 straight days (Also With AZO'S Every Day) without taking the Suboxone on those 6 days, then stopped The hydrocodone and continued on with Suboxone for eight days and I had a 12 panel drug test on that 8th day at 10:30 I drank a gallon of water each day for five days on the eighth day was test time, so it had only been out of my system for 7 days really 8 if you count test day as well!! I'm 5'8 and weigh 140pounds! I knew and had been warned that if it was in my system I would be arrested or be kicked out period No questions asked per the dr. so I was so worried until I saw him again in 2 weeks,doesn't matter they're all pills you had or a prescription you just happen to pick up your out or worse jail! I passed so needless to say I will never be stupid enough to even consider doing it ever again in my entire life I will stay on the Suboxone! Glad I passed or it was over for me so 7 or 8 full days for hydrocodone not to show up on a 12 panel test. I know this is old but I'm just letting you all know that I would at least give it "7" full days! So I would say yes it should be!!

Hydrocodone breaks down into metabolites. Norhydrocodone and hydromorphone are two. Norhydrocodone stays in your system the longest. When you come up positive on a UA, its because the metabolites or parent drug has been detected. Detection times depend on the UA. A simple test like a 5 panel test only have a 3 day detection time for opiates. Hydrocodone is a synthetic opioid. I have heard that some drug test wont even show hydrocodone, since its an opioid. After reading a study, it concluded that 7 individuals took one 10 milligram pill and tested positive for a time length of (2-4 days)48-96 hours. The individuals of this study drank water at their own accord. Basically, the results vary depending on the individual. SWIM took a ten milligram tablet on Thursday and SWIM's job called him in for a test on Monday. SWIM shoud pass this test if he stops taking the drug. Drinking water will help SWIM pass the drugs out of SWIM's sytem. A healthy diet will also help. Hydrocodone is fat soluble, helping it cross the brain/blood barrier quickly. Exercise can help SWIM as well. If SWIM is still worried, he could even go to his local head shop and by a detoxifying product. These products may show an invalid drug test result. A home drug test kit is available as well. Hope this helps, doing your own research is encouraged. Good luck

Have you tried just going to NA meetings? You seem like you know there is a serious problem going on. I mean you say your husband is gonna drug test you. You've wrecked and almost died. Don't let drugs take all you have. Stop before it's too late and you have no husband, no job, no home.
