Brief Answer:
1-4 days

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with you medical question.

You are curious as to how long after taking oxycodone will it be detectable in a urine drug screen. Usually it takes anywhere from 1-4 days before a urine drug screen turns negative from taking oxycodone. It is excreted from the body through the urine so drinking plenty of fluids to help filter the urine may reduce that time.

Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your medical questions
