Question : I took my Vicodin 10mg his morning at 7am - will it show in a urine test taken at 5pm? I've read horror stories where people like me have tested negative for Vicodin and I'm worried this might happen to me. Or am I worrying over nothing? Bottom line: I need the Norco to show on the test since I take it as prescribed but usually take my test around 9AM in the morning instead of at 5PM

Brief Answer:
2-4days

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, Vicodin can be detected in urine for 2-4 days after your last intake. this means that if you take the test at 5 pm it will still show positive in the test. I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
