Posted on Mon, 12 Jan 2015
Question: My question is, how long will it take for my Oxycodone HCI 15mg to get out of my system? To pass a urine test for a job. I take it 4X a day. Do I drink a lot of Cranberry juice & Water? Or try the kit from Walgreens??

Brief Answer:
You need to stop oxycodone before 5 days of urine test

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You are taking 60 mg of oxycodone per day. You need to stop at least before 5 days to pass the urine test. Oxycodone metabolites can be detected in urine up to 3-4 days.
Yes, cranberry juice might help in clearance of metabolites but can not clear all metabolites immediately.

You can use walgreens kit before actual urine test but that is only after stopping oxycodone, otherwise it is of no use.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
