Will vicodin show up in a drug test?

Generally, yes. It depends on the test given, and how recent the Vicodin (containing hydrocodone) was taken. But in general, yes. Most drug tests will test for Vicodin (hydrocodone and/or its metabolities). Hydrocodone metabolizes into hydromorphone--another opioid (brand name: Dilaudid). In that case, it would test positive for opioids/opiates. If you have a prescription, then there is no problem legally.

Hydrocodone is the generic name for Vicodin with Tylenol. It is a narcotic analgesic that also contains acetaminophen.

Yes. I takes three days to clear opiates out of your body. Unless you have a prescription for it. For whatever reason hydrocodone doesn't show up on a DOT 5 panel. When you go for the test say nothing to the pee colector, its not their business. If you get called on it explain then.
