How Long Would Hydrocodone And Percocet Remain In The System While Due For A Drug Test?
Question: help I had an old bottle of hydrocodone from 12/6/16 that I got for back pain. last Saturday I got muscle spasms so I found the old bottle. I took 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday. also before that early Saturday morning a friend gave me a percocet that I know I shouldn't have taken. tonight I took a 6 panel test and it showed positive on the opioid or opiate panel. I have a drug test on Wednesday. I think I need to tell the person giving me the physical and test. what do u think will happen
Brief Answer:
Stays in body for maximum two days
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir thanks for writing to us for your health concerns to HCM. I can understand your concern and will try to help you sort out your problems.
Sir oxycodone and acetaminophen combination tablets will stay in the body only in for two days maximum. Your kidney will clear the drug urinating. If you had taken Saturday and Sunday then until Tuesday it says in the body. So if you go Wednesday afternoon then I don't think the drug would be left to be detected. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any doubts.
I hope this info helps you sort out your problems and if you feel its helpful kindly give me user thank vote happy health!

Brief Answer:
Tell that you took tablets
Detailed Answer:
Sir usually drug testing is done to know if you had taken drug which affects your body system. So if that concentration is lesser than that then it is not a worry. Tell truth only and say you took one tablet on Sunday for pain.
