How long does Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Hydrocodone Bitartrate stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of chlorpheniramine maleate and hydrocodone bitartrate is about 3.8 hours (3.8 ± 0.3 hours) — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. Hydrocodone is converted by the liver (via CYP2D6) to an active metabolite, hydromorphone; this metabolic step is well established even though this particular label's pharmacokinetics section does not name hydromorphone. The 3.8-hour value comes from a small study (five adult male subjects); clearance and half-life can be prolonged in people with impaired liver or kidney function, in older adults, and can vary with CYP2D6 metabolizer status.
