The half-life to hydrocodone is 3.5 to 5 hours. It usually does not stay in the body 24 hours, much less than that

Up to 24 hours depending on fat stores and other substances in your body.

Its effective 4-6 hrs. The half life of hydrocodone is around 4 hrs, meaning its out of you body in about 20 hrs.
