How Long Does Cotinine Take To Clear Off From The Body?

I will be having mouth swab testing for Cotinine in 19 days. I have been using nicorette mini lozenges 2mg for over a year so that I will not smoke cigarettes. Total approx 10 mg daily. If I stop using the lozenges now, how soon will Cotinine clear my body? I am female, 115 lbs.

Hi,

Cotinine will be gone after 1 to 10 days from the blood.

Neither nicotine nor cotinine will be detectable in your urine after 3 to 4 days of stopping tobacco products.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Nicotine will leave your blood within 1 to 3 days after you stop using tobacco or tablets, and cotinine will be gone after 1 to 10 days. Neither nicotine nor cotinine will be detectable in your urine after 3 to 4 days of stopping tobacco products.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
