A member asked:

Please explain how long does hydrocodone stay in your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

4-6 hours: The half life of the drug is normally 3.8-6 hours, which means the effect of the drug lasts generally that long. It can be longer in people with kidney dysfunction or liver dysfunction as it is metabolized in the liver and excreted by the kidney unit the urine. There is individual variation but the effect lasts 4- 6 hours.
