How long does the hydromophone remain in the system after I stop taking it regularly?

Question

My husband had total hip replacement surgery 3 weeks ago. His supply of hydromophone tablets has run out and he is wondering how long it will take for the constipation from taking this medication to subside. Thank you very much and have a nice day! Thank you very much! I'll get back to you if needed.

Good morning, ma'am, Opioid-related constipation is extremely common. It may take 3 to 7 days to completely resolve after stopping the hydromorphone. I hope I've been helpful, if you need more information on constipation relief, please don't hesitate to contact me! Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
