Important Instructions
If your medical practitioner prescribes vicodin tablets its important that you don’t drink more than three alcoholic drinks per day. It’s even more important that you stay away from liver disorders such as cirrhosis. If you are an individual suffering from cirrhosis, its very critical that you let your doctor know about your health condition and stay away from acetaminophen contents
The main ingredient in vicodin is hydrocodine. This chemical has the tendency of inducing the person to consume more and more. Once you tart getting used to the intake of vicodin, you often tend to have cravings for the drug. So, it is better to keep away from the drug. Use it whenever it is required. Another very important instruction is that you have to be cautious when you take the drug. Try not to have the drug at workplace since you might have to work with machines or involve yourself in driving since vicodin may weaken your power of thinking.
Vicodin, Not a no Prescription Medicine
Always take the advice of the physician when it comes to the intake of this drug. Do not take it as someone has benefited by it. This painkiller cannot be given to drug addicts. Disclose to your doctor before taking the drug if any have any of the following health problems:
· Stomach or any other digestive disorder
· Mental illness
· Low blood pressure
· History of head injury or brain tumor
· Kidney or Liver disease
· Under active Thyroid
· Any kind of breathing disorder
· History of drug addiction
· History of alcohol addiction
· Any gland disorder
If you are a breast feeding mother or a pregnant woman, vicodin can cause breathing problem to your baby. Understand that it is very easy for vicodin to pass through breast milk and affect the tender child.
It has to be taken strictly on doctor’s prescription. Do not intend to increase the tablets and dosage without doctor’s approval. Remember to take only for the reason for what purpose it has been recommended. Do not suggest your friends who may have same symptoms similar to you. If you have forgotten your dose, if the time has come for the next dose, do not take a double dose at one shot.
So it is not a fun or joke to take a painkiller because if you get addicted to it, it is certainly very difficult to get out of it.
How long does Vicodin Stay in Your System?
To get the answer to the question as to how long does vicodin stay in your system, understand the fact that this painkiller stays for four hours, but traces of the medicine remains in your system for 72 hours, which may not reveal positive result in drug test. The urine test gives negative result for nearly three days; hair specimen gives evidence up to three months. In most cases, drug test depends upon the person’s diet, weight and body fat, because the metabolic rate differs form person to person..
Since its very uncertain and ambiguous to understand how long does vicodin stay in your system, use it whenever it is inevitable, but do not make it a habit.

i have been taking vicodin since an mva in 1997, i have been self medicating (taking more then i should) for the past 6 years. i have gotten to the point of only taking it to keep from going thru the withdrawls. i was up 10 to 20 7.5 tablets a day. for myself and my family , i checked into a detox hospital to get help. since my release 3 days ago, i have had only one craving for it. the craving was a very mild one that only lasted a short moment. i am amazed at how good i feel. there is hope for any one addicted to this medication. i did this on my terms and no one elses. no more pill counting for me. if you need help talk to your doctor and let him know all of your sources then go check in. my situation i thought was hopeless. there is hope for you. my detox was virtually sick free. if you think you need help, go get it. it works.

I stopped taking my Hydrocodone 5/500 yesterday, I just had my first surgery ever, a C-Section, plus got my tube cut tied and burned, someone called CPS on me, they say I have to pass the drug test on the 23rd, I only weigh 89.5 LBS, I have a really high metabolism, I need to know if this will be out of my system in six days, cause CPS is being gay even though I have a script, I can’t finish it, because the opiates have to come back negative, I’m serious, they don’t care that I have proof, and they don’t care about the pain I’m in, so hopefully someone can help me make sure I pass this dumb test, by letting me know how long this will take me, I hope before six days.
Thank You,
Ashley B.
