Would 4 5-325 Hydrocodone Show Up In A Urine Test After 48 Hours?
Question: Hi. I took 4 5-325 hydrocodone on Saturday, I had an 8 panel urine screen on Monday. Now, I had gastric bypass 2 years ago and I haven't taken any painkillers in almost 2 years. Can you tell if my me if it would be in my urine after 48 hours?
Brief Answer:
No,it won't be in your urine test after 48 hours.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concerns.
The time that a drug stays in the system depends on the half-life of the drug.
The half-life of Hydrocodone is about 4 hours.
The rule is that any kind of drug you take needs around 5 half lives to be totally cleared off your systems.
In your case since the half-life of Hydrocodone is 4 hours ,it would be out your body after 20 hours, means after 1 day since last dose of Hydrocodone.
If you took the last dose of Hydrocodone in Saturday then after 20 hours it is supposed to be out your system so it won't be in urine test on Monday.
Hope it was of help.
Let me know if you have other questions or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to help you.
Kind Regards!
