Wish I could give you a more certain answer, but I cannot say unless you can tell me exactly what kindof drug testing is being done.  If you only took one Lortab, the half-life is about 3 days in urine, but if theyare doing a more sensitive test, it may show up.  If it is being done for legal purposes, they should do amore definitive test like gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy which will almost certainly detect it.If you have a prescription for the Lortab, it should not be a problem.  However, if you know you are beingdrug tested and you still needed to use an opiate pill, I am concerned that there is more of a problem here.
