Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic .

In your case it may take 9 to 10 days for klonopin to completely get metabolised and go out from body.

Since you have taken in morning of the screening test it will show up the drug in blood as it will not be completely metabolised yet.

It also depends on your liver and kidney function. This value is for normal liver and kidney function.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
