Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The drug tramadol can be detected in blood or urine sample for 1-2 days. Chances of detection are minimal after 48 hours. However, it can be detected in hair follicles for months.

So depending on what they are testing for and what sample is being tested there is a possibility of it being detected.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
