Q: How long does Vicodin stay in your system
Poopsie's answer appears to be right on according to Pass Your Drug Test. com. Vicodin, in contrast to such drugs as percocet and fentanyl - which disappear within 24 hours - will stay in your system from 1-6 days depending, obviously, on a variety of factors.

Pain killers in this class usually remain in your system for about a week. But, it largely depends on how much and how often the pain med was used. A one time time dose may be eliminated more quickly than if the drug was used daily for a period of time before the testing was done. On average from the material I have read, one week, (7 days), is the best guideline to use. If you have taken daily for some time, I would give it 10 days to be more sure of a negetive test.
