How long does oxycontin stay in your system?!
Question:
How long does oxycontin stay in your system?
Answers:
The half-life of the active ingredient of oxycontin (oxycodone) is approximately 3 to 4.5 hours. It is generally felt that it takes about 7 half-lives of a drug for it to clear from the body. This would translate to approximately 21 to 31.5 hours.
However, this is extremely variable. The initial dose taken, individual metabolism, general health, level of activity, amount of fluids, and other factors will affect metabolism and excretion of a drug. Usually the opiates will not be detected in urine 3 days after taking.
