How long does ephedrine stay in your system...drug test?

I would have though they woule be testng for more regular drugs - recreational - HOWEVER ephedrine may give a false positive for other drugs, specifically methamphetamine. It does depend on the test they use.\n\nAs for how long, 2-4 days seems to be atypical guestimate from most of the websites I have seen in the past.  The previous answer MIGHT be correct but it seems to contradict most of the other sites I have seen. I will try and check some more. Here is a list of others which might be of use....\n\nAlcohol                                6-24 hours\nAmphetamines                           2-3 days\nBarbituates                             1 day to 3 weeks\nBenzodiazepines                3-7 days\nCocaine                               2-5 days\nCodeine                               3-5 days\nEuphorics (MDMA, Ecstasy) 1-3 days\nLSD                                         1-4 days\nMarijuana (THC)                 7-30 days\nMethadone                            3-5 days\nMethaqualone                          14 days\nOpiates                               1-4 days\nPhencyclidine (PCP)              2-4 days\nSteroids (anabolic)                 14-30 days\n\n\nThe following medical products (including ephedrine) can lead to "false positives" and might be wroth bearing in mind as an emergency excuse....\n\n    * Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)\n    * Midol\n    * Nuprin\n    * Sudafed           The one you are interested in - false pos for ephidirine/meth\n    * Vicks Nasal Spray\n    * Neosynephren\n    * Ephedra and Ephedrine-based products (often used in diet products)\n    * Detromethorphan\n    * Vicks 44

Ironically, the drug that stays in the system longest is the most innocuous, marijuana. Ice (methamphetamine), cocaine, heroin will only test positive for a couple days after the last time they were taken. Marijuana can last up to 6 weeks. These times vary somewhat based on dosage and frequency of use before the test and the metabolism and body chemistry of the test subject.\n\nPS: Ice is an incredibly addictive drug that can cause permanent changes in brain structure with very limited use. It is still rising in popularity and is already causing more problems than heroin and cocaine combined. Just stay away from it. And I say this as a person who is generally pro-legalization when it comes to drugs. Meth makes cocaine seem like icing sugar.

Can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months. Without blood tests pretty quick. Toxicology takes awhile.

If you are talking about how long it takes to show up negative on a tox screen(drug test), then about 3-5 day for both cocaine and crack. Unlike marijuana which shows up a positive on a tox screen for about 30-45 days(sometimes longer because THC absorbs itself in fat cells), coke and crack flush out quickly.

The more often you do a drug the longer it stays in your body. Frequent or chronic users can still have the drug in their body for weeks. \nLittle FYI\nMarijuana can also stay in the body for 3 months or more with chronic use.

Vicodin stays in your system for approximately 5 days.

I've never heard of Surgel...it must be some gimmick that says it will clean your system from drugs.  It's a lie.  There is NOTHING that will get drugs out of your system.  And weed stays in longer than any other drug.  10-14 days for a urine test and 3-6 months for a hair follicle test.

it depends on the type of test; if it is blood or urine, depending on your metabolism, between 2-5 days, faster if your metabolism is high (ie if you are thin it is probably faster, and if you are bigger vice versa) It also depends on your usage, if you are habitual, it could take somewhat longer than if you are an occasional or one time user....if is is a hair follicle test, it depends on your ethnicity, but it could go back up to 18 months depending on your hair color and length (shorter for blondes than brunettes) this info should be pretty on the mark... thc from marijuana stays in longer because unlike coke, it is stored in your fat cells

Assuming you have normal liver and kidney function, and you're not taking any drugs that significantly alter drug metabolism, the Lortabs have a duration of action of 4-6 hours, but can be detected on a drug test for 3-6 days.  Xanax has a duration of about 8 hours, and can be detected for a week or two, longer if you're a chronic user.  Adderall has a duration of action of 4-8 hours, and clears the system and is undetecable in 2-4 days.

Using coke or heroin or whatever isn't a wise thing to do anyway. Whether a test will find traces of drugs used after a certain time depends on the test itself. A normal blood test generally doesn't find much after 36-72 hours. Traces of marijuana can be found even weeks or months in urine-tests. Coke can be found several months after you used it in your hair! The best way to not get caught on using drugs:\nDon't use it! (It's better for both your physical and mental health anyway).

For an urine or blood drug test, THC metabolites [the active ingredient in marijuana] show up for a period of 28 to 30 days after the last time you smoked. If a hair sampling drug test is done, it may take months or even years [if you're long-haired] for THC traces to disappear completely from your system. But, if you smoked for medical reasons [marijuana is a medically recognized treatment for nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy; it even comes in pill form, under the brand name of MARINOL; get your oncologist to prescribe it for your use], then you can't be discriminated against or otherwise penalized if a positive result comes back. It's unconstitutional and illegal to do so, because it may constitute discrimination against your person in basis of a disabling condition. You may want to consult an attorney regarding this issue for further advise. Good luck, and hope that you get better real soon.

It depends on the test.  Usually, it's up to 2-3 days, but  urine samples can be positive for cocaine metabolites for a week or longer in adults (and even longer in children--God forbid!!).

depends what u r trying to get out of ur system ? If it is a controlled substance it depends on what it is.. If it is cocain drink lots of fluids and continue to it takes about 24 hours for an 3.5 grams. of meth it takes about 36 hours for a half of oz, weed depends if u have smoked it before and if so it takes about 3 days o get in and stays in for 30+ days. if it is just pills flush your system and drink cranberry juice

From what I have read it may take up to 90 days to not be detected in urine. But I would wait even longer - maybe 6 months based on your usage

drugs in general will pass through your system within a few months and not show up in a urinalisis, but they can still be detected though blood and hair folicles.

Ephedra is DANGEROUS. Do not take it. There are no quick fixes. Diet and exercise is the only way. See your doctor first.

Off hand opinions:  It depends upon the type of test.\nAnd also your body fat percentage and metabolism, I think...\nI have seen medium build men pass a urine test when they 'smoked' last week.  I have heard of people drinking pickle juice or orange juice and 'flushing'  their systems out.  I would say there are no guarantees.\n\nan article said about detection periods:1-3 days for single use, and up to 84 days for habitual use.-for a urine test. 90 days for hair test, and 24 hours (single use) and 2 days (habitual use)  for a blood test.
