Determining exactly how long codate is detectable in the body depends on many variables, including which kind drug test is being used. Codate - also known as Tylenol #3, Codate, Codephos, Syrup, C, school boy, Codeine - can be detected for a shorter time with some tests, but can be "visible" for up to three months in other tests.
The timetable for detecting codate in the system is also dependent upon each individual's metabolism, body mass, age, hydration level, physical activity, health conditions and other factors, making it almost impossible to determine an exact time codate will show up on a drug test.
Codate Drug Tests Timetable
The following is an estimated range of times, or detection windows, during which codate can be detected by various testing methods:Urine Test: 2-4 days
Blood Test: 12 hrs`
Saliva Test: 1-4 days
Codate, like like many other drugs, can be detected with a hair follicle drug test for up to 90 days.
