Brief Answer:
Lyrica

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are currently taking Lyrica and you are concerned about possible detection in urine drug screen. Lyrica is not a drug that is screened for in urine for drug abuse. It can be detected in urine though for people with possible drug overdoses though.

Lyrica is excreted by the kidneys 100%. The usually half life is about 6.3 hours. This means it would take about 24-36 hours after ingestion to be undetectable.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
