I guess I wish I knew. A friend gave me the pill cause I was having a panic attack at work. All I can say is it is a very little blue pill.

Thank You

Brief Answer:
Explained

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

The dose of the drug is important. However, the timing of the urine test can be delayed e.g for up to a week to decrease the chances of detection. The time it takes to clear also depends whether the drug was a slow release or immediate release, type and the duration described above. You should seek a prescription before taking such a medication as this could undermine prescription for such a medication in the future.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
