How Long Is Hydrocodone Detected In Urine

I had one vicodin the night before a drug test and this was my first time taking one in a week. Will it show up in my urine test? ## Most likely, yes. In regards to a urine test, Hydrocodone can be detected for up to 1-6 days after your last dose. In my honest opinion, if you're taking any sort of narcotic the night before a drug test, there's really no point in trying to get around the position you chose to put yourself in. The odds of getting this type of drug out of your system in less than 24 hours, to me seems impossible, whether you're a chronic user or first time user. Experienced patients who are used to random drug screenings have gotten it out of their system in only two days time (with a lot of water, exercise, etc), which is considered to be really good! As I sai...

Hi I took 1 7.5 -325 Monday around 5pm. I'm considering going to a staffing agency tomorrow (Thursday) and was wondering if it would be detected in urine analysis. I haven't been drinking a lot of fluids but normally have around 4- 16 oz glasses of water a day. I'm about 180lbs and 6 ft tall. Please help me out with this!! ## Brad 84, check out the tread on this website titled "Xanax Detection Window", post number 2, has a list of very good websites. Doesn't just tell you about Xanax, it's all the drugs and the length of time.

Hello, how long does Hydrocodone stay in the urine? I have a prescription for 10 mg - 650 mg Oxycodone/APAP. I took 1/8 of one pill due to pain I had in my back. Twenty hours later I had a random drug test by my company. Will it still be detected? Thank you. ## If you have a prescription, then you do not have a problem whether they detect it or not. They cannot deny you the use of legally prescribed medications that treat a medical condition, even if they are narcotics, unless you are a pilot. All you have to do is make sure to tell them that, though they do have the right to ask for proof, such as a statement from your doctor. It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for narcotics to clear your system for a urine test. Are there any questions or comments? ## How long does it stay in your blood?...

I go to a pain clinic, but ran out of my percacet,took 3 lortab 10s over a 4 day period have drig test in 8 days will it be in my system ## The half life of hydrocodone is approx 6 hrs so it is detectable in the urine for approx 30 hours after taking the last tablet. So to answer your question, no. PharmD ## The time it takes for it to process out of the body for it's effects and side effects isn't necessarily the same as the time that the metabolites can be detected in a drug test. In standard urine tests, most narcotics can be detected for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing. There is no way, however, to give an actual precise time frame, because it is also going to vary depending on certain individuating factors, such as your metabolism, overall health, activity leve...

Keep in mind that this figure is a rough estimate, because everyone's metabolism is different. In the event of a hair strand test however, it's unlikely that you would pass, since it can be detected for up to 90 days. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables while staying hydrated throughout the day will significantly help your body detox quicker. Besides getting ple...

I took a hydrocodone at 8:40a.m. and that same morning had a urine drug test at 11:20 will it be detected? ## i dont take hydrocodone and i took a half of a 10mg and had to do a drug test 2 days after will is show up??? ## Kayla, the normal time it takes to be detected in a urine test is about 3 hours, so it's hard to say. You were pretty close to that and it's always going to vary from person to person. Johnny, they can be detectable for approximately 4 to 5 days, after taking them, but as stated above, it can vary from person to person depending on your individual metabolism, overall health, activity levels and many other factors. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I am in pain managment and two weeks ago I hurt myself agian and like a dumb butt I did'nt know I ...

Somebody called my doctor and said I was taking heroin. I have been on hydrocodone for the last 3 years. I take my urine test every visit and I took my meds like I was supposed to, but the day before my doctor visit I took ten 7.5/325s and my drug screen came up showing that I had no hydrocodone and came up as hydromorphone and morphine. I would like to know why? ## wrongly accused, if you took ten hydrocodone 7.5/acetaminophen 325 in one day, it appears that you have a drug problem. Sometimes the drug you have been taking isn't detected but one of it's metabolites are. Hydromorphone, is one of hydrocodones metabolites. Do you only take drugs that you are prescribed from your pharmacy? If not, it is possible that you have ingested other drugs without knowing what they really were.

Took two 10 325 hydrocodone on tuesday will it show up on a urine or blood test on friday? ## Hi Robbie, I can't find any specific details as to when Hydrocodone will show up in a blood test, but in regards to a urine test I found that it can be detected in a time frame of 1-6 days after you last took it. Based on this information, the odds of it showing up in your system on Friday are still likely, but if you drink lots of fluids and exercise regularly it should leave your system sooner. I hope this helps! ## I know it will show up in urine , in one week . However , it will be weak in your system . Unlike valium , valium sticks with you up to 4-6 weeks . Please allow , up to 10 days , for it to clear out . Providing you're not taking them on a regular basis . If you're taki...

I am prescribed Hydrocodone 10/325, one every six hours. I ran out and took one 5/325 and had a urine test the next day. The test detected Hydrocodone 300 and Hydromorphone 300. Is this normal and will I get kicked off my meds because of this?

I USUALLY TAKE OXYCODONE, RAN OUT I TOOK ONE OF MY BROTHERS HYDROCODONE WEDNESDAY WILL IT SHOW UP ON DIFFERENTLY OM MY DRUG TEST? DOES IT SHOW UP ON A 10 PANEL OR A 5? ## It depends on the specifics of the test, beyond the panels, if they look further to see what specific drugs you've been taking, then yes, they will both be detected as different substances. Learn more Hydrocodone details here. Learn more Oxycodone details here. Do you know anything else about the test? ## it's a urine test at a pain cinic some people asked the same queston on here and they said their pain cliinic said it just come up a opiodes, and then some people sy they found both hydr/oxyc. i'm sure their not testing just for theone they prescribe for me, right?

how long does this drug stay in your system? ## Hi bonnie, If this is in regards to a drug screening, I think a big factor depends on the type of drug test your taking; because, for a urine test Hydrocodone in and of itself can be detected for up to 1-6 days after your last dose. For a hair test, Hydrocodone can be detected for up to 90 days after your last dose. And for a saliva test, up to 1-10 days after your last dose. Even though these are only intended to be estimated time frames, I find them to be very true based on others posting their experience getting drug screened. If this question is not pertaining to a drug test, I have heard of many individuals getting this medication out of their system in under a week, simply by drinking plenty of water each day, eating healthy, and exe...

I have a drug test coming up for probation and I've taken hydrocodone. I do have script for Tylenol 4. Am I ok? ## It depends on the specific test which is ordered. Tylenol # 4 contains Codeine (not Hydrocodone), so you are talking about 2 different opiates. Some tests either give a "yes" or "no" that an opiate was detected, others can actually tell the difference. For example, in urine testing, an Immunoassay would give a simple "positive" result for opiates ... but a Mass Spectrometry test (either Gas or Liquid, aka GC/MS, LC/MS) can provide more details about the specific opiate detected. Here is a helpful PDF file which provides more details: Would you happen to know what kind of lab work is going to be specifically done on your urine?

Thanks for any answers. ## Yes, there is a chance that it will be detected. Like most other narcotics, the Hydrocodone in Norco can be detected for approximately 4 to 5 days, after taking it.

My doctor dismissed me as a patient because a very small amount (252 ng/ml) of morphine was detected. I do not take other peoples meds, do not do street drugs. How this could happen is a complete and crazy mystery to me. I take Alprazolam, Tizanidine HAL, blood pressure and water pills. Over the counter allergy medicine and occasionally Benadryl. What is it? The combination? ## It actually might have just been due to the test itself, if your doctor is using a less expensive, non-certified test, then they have been known to show false positives for other substances anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

Does lortab 5/500. Test the same as lortab 10/325 ## Yes, they both contain the narcotic Hydrocodone, coupled with Acetaminophen and will be detected the same in a urine test.

will lortab after being asborbed and processed in your body show up as didaudid? I was told lortab will be broke down and excreted as didaudid ## Technically, it should be detected as Hydrocodone, which is the active narcotic ingredient in it, however, the quality of the test used may cause problems. It may not necessarily show up as Dilaudid, but on the less expensive, non-certified tests, it may cause false a positive for other narcotic opiates. Are there any other questions or comments?
