How long does Lortab stay in your system?

Lortab is a combination of the pain killers acetaminophen and hydrocodone. According to Mayo Clinic, hydrocodone is detectable in urine samples up to three days after use.

Lortab is commonly prescribed to address moderate to severe pain. Drugs.com warns that hydrocodone, is an opiate, with misuse possibly resulting in overdose, addiction or death, especially among children and those not prescribed the medication. The prescribed dosage should be taken by adult patients no more than once every 4-6 hours. Since it is possible to develop a tolerance to Lortab that triggers withdrawal symptoms, patients are advised not to stop usage suddenly.
