How Long Will It Take To Get Medicines Out Of The System If Needed To Take Blood/urine Swab Tests?

yes, I recently had a medical procedure on 6.12.14 and needed to take one misoprostol 200 mcg and one iburofen 800 mg at 11 pm on 6/11/14. The following morning 6/12/14, I had to take: one diazepam 10 mg; one misoprostol 200 mcg; one hydrocodone/aceaminophen 5-325; one iburofen 800 mg and will take one doxycline hyclate 100 mg capsules 6/13/14 at 6 pm. I am 60 years old. weight about 180. How long will it take to have all medications out of my blood stream for blood and urine/ mouth swab tests? I will be having a blood/urine/mouth swab test for life insurance which can be delayed until all medications are out of my system.

Hi,

A drugs concentration becomes negligible in the body after four half-lives of the drug.

The drugs you mentioned, all have a half-life less than a day, so in 3 to 4 days all would be a pit of the body. Though most will be not there the next day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
