How Long Does Tramadol Remain In The System?
I was in Mexico on vacation and needed some dental work. I went to the pharmacy in Mexico and they sold me tramadol, which we declared at the border and was legal to take into the U.S.without a prescription. That was a few days ago. I m an RN, getting hired for my first job. I m confused about the tramadol. There s no prescription, it s not necessary in Mexico or to take it across the border, so I thought this would be ok. Now I m not sure. I stopped taking it yesterday and I have a drug test in two days.well I be ok?

Hello,
Welcome to Health Center Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concert.
In fact, most probably Tramadol will shows up on drug screens, because is detected in blood and urine screens only 2-4 days after use. Despite that, hair testing can show past Tramadol use, even when it is no longer in your system.
Most drugs can be detected far longer in hair than they can be in urine or blood. Hair samples may be able to test positive for Tramadol weeks or months after exposure to the drug.
I would like to mention also that Tramadol detection period in hair samples depends on a few different factors, including hair length, dosage, and the person’s metabolism.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Ina Zaimi
