How Long Does Vicodin Stay In Body?
Question: I have a job interview coming up and just got off some pain medicine. Although this is probably explainable, I would like to know how long Vicodin 10/300 stays in my system. I am a 58 yr old male, about 165 lbs. I have a normal diet and XXXXXXX not on any other medication.
Brief Answer:
It can stay upto 4 days in detectable limits.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Jyothi BL and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
Vicodin 10/300 - contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen.
1. Hydrocodone in vicodin is detectable usually upto a maximum of 24 hours normally.
2. During chronic intake, maximum of 3-4 days is the detectable limit, after which it cannot be detected. This all depends on activity and metabolism in the body. Above 5 days, not detected by current methods.
3. Acetaminophen also has similar half life like hydrocodone. It also is not detected by usual methods after 24 hours.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
