How Long Does Methadone Remain In The System?
Question: how long does methadone 15mg stay in your blood system. I had taken it three days before a blood test will it show up?
Brief Answer:
Depends on the urine elimination.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM,
It will depend on the test. I'm understanding it is a blood test and it is specific for detecting methadone in the blood. In this case I would say that is it mostly eliminated with urine and it may take 8 to 59 hours. It may be prolonged with alkaline pH, which is not something you can control.
I would say try drinking plenty of water so you will eliminate more urine and it will clear faster from the system.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarification. Otherwise please close and rate the question.
Take care.
