Does Hydrocodone Show Up In Urine Drug Test?

default
Posted on Tue, 9 Dec 2014
Question: Hi, I take two 10/325 hydrocodone four times a day and one ms contin 60 twice daily as needed. I have been on this same medication and dosage for over five years and it has allowed me to manage my pain and lead a active lifestyle with biking and swimming daily for the most part. I had my Doctors appt. this Thursday and finished my meds late Tue. night. My pain management Doctor said all patients were required to take a urine

drug test. I do not do any other drugs accept my prescription, I did take Advil the day before my appt. and do smoke cigarettes but am cutting down and hoping to quit with the help of the e-cig. My question is I am worried that since I had not taken my meds for a day and a half that my medication will not show up in my urine test. I take my meds as prescribed and have never sold or given away any of my meds, they are my lifeline to be able to manage my pain and have a life and I would do nothing to mess that up. I have my next appt. next month and just would like to get a bit of piece of mind so I don't have to worry I do not receive my meds. Thank you for your response and have a nice day !

Brief Answer:
The drug would show up even after 2days without!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. It takes at least 5-7days for this hydrocodone to become undetectable in urine. You should not be bothered at this time because the chances that you would pass this exam are very high. I honestly think you would not have any difficulties getting the medications refilled.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and keep me posted on the progress of this file.
