How long does it take to clear 5mg oxycodone from the body?

It depends on type: Oxycodone comes in two varieties. Immediate release (ir) and controlled release (cr). Some companies mix oxycodone (usually the ir variety) with Acetaminophen and give it names such as percocet, endocet, tylox (oxycodone and acetaminophen). The ir is taken once per 4 -6 hours and can stay in your system for about a day but may be detected up to 72 hr later cr is taken every 12 hours and can stay in your system 3 -4 days.

Depends: Simple (ir) is metabolized in 3-4.5 hrs. For the controlled release (cr) is 12 hrs half life which means the efficiency reduces after 12 hrs and you need to take another dose. Depends if you are a chronic user and abuser it will take up to 12-14 days to clear. The 5 mg dose for an occasional user in 3-4 days your urine should be negative.
