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.
