A member asked:
For how long does it take for hydrocodone to get out of your blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few hours: The parent molecule, hydrocodone only lasts for a few minutes in blood, and crosses the blood brain barrier where it is converted into Codeine and morphine. Those metabolites may be found in blood for 4-6 hours after taking it, depending on how sensitive the lab techniques are, and found in urine for 1-3 days, depending on dose and duration of use.
