Hello,

The following are few facts about elimination of Hydrocodone:
1) In the blood, Hydrocodone is present at its highest level after about 1.3 hours and is detectable for up to 24 hours after intake.
2) In the saliva, tests detect hydrocodone anywhere between 12 and 36 hours after a dose.
3) In the urine, tests can detect the drug for around 1–4 days after a person takes it.
4) In the hair, traces of Hydrocodone are detectable for the longest period — nearly 90 days after a person takes the drug.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
