How Long Does Morphine Remain In The Body?
Question: how long does it take morphine to clear a urine test
Brief Answer:
Not more then 4-5 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM.
Morphine has a half-life (the time that half of it is cleared from the body) of about 1,5- 4 hours in a normal oral formulation. It may take longer to clear the system depending on how it was administered and the health of the person taking the morphine.
The exact time that the urine is detectable depends on the amount of morphine a person is taking, what formulation of the drug they’re using, how long they’re used it, and other factors.
Typically, morphine can be detected in urine for 1-2 days.
In cases of heavy or chronic use, morphine might be detectable for slightly longer, but it usually can’t be detected after about 4-5 days.
Hope I answered your question.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Take care.
