Brief Answer:
It

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This drug gets metabolised appx within 80 hours XXXXXXX So in case your blood test is due next week, i.e. more than 3 days away and you have no more pills, there is a likelihood that drug may not show in your tests.

Consult your prescribing doctor for the same beforehand to avoid testing negative.

Hi, there are two methods of leaving bupin
1. You start taking a non opioid based pain killer. Slowly start decreasing the bupin dose till you are off it. Non opiod based drug could be Tapentadol, tramsdol or a combination of aceclofenac + acetaminophen
2. Enter a deaddiction facility and they ll put you on special medications to get you off the bupin and prevent withdrawal symptoms.
