I will not judge you, but simply answer your question accurately. Hydrocodone Bitartrate
has an elimination half life of 4-6 hours. The rule of thumb for drugs which are metabolized hepatically and excreted renally is to multiply the half life by five. Therefore, in a healthy individual with a normally functioning liver, the drug will be gone in 30 hours. The answer is between one and two days.

As long as it is for you then you should have no problems but most urine test do not test for perscription drugs only the other kind. But on the norm Hydrocodone, according to the Physician's Desk Reference, has a life of about 4 hours, so after that it should be gone.

One person said 4-5 hours. That's how long it will be effective for treating pain, not how long it will show up in a test. It's probably 3-4 days tho it depends on the kind of test.
I believe a test using a strand of hair can go back quite a way. What is this for anyway? If you're concerned about this showing up in a test when you're not supposed to be taking it, simply don't take it in the first place.

If you have a doctors slip does it matter, wish I had some for my back ache right now.
