Brief Answer:
Effects fade within a day. Urine drug screen can be positive for upto 10day

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

The therapeutic effects of hydrocodone are over within a day. However, a urine test screen can remain positive for up to 10days. If you are to go for urine testing, then 10days is the safe line. If it is about its effects on controlling pain, then 1day is largely sufficient.

I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
