Suggest Medication For Hypoglycemia
Hello,
I believe that my son has been using meth-amphetamine for approx 6 months now,
and i would like to take him in for a drug test. I have not yet decided whether
to get a hair, urine or blood test, but because he is legally responsible, i
must have his consent to test him, therefore, i am wondering if there is any
way
he could cheat the test that i should watch for, or how soon i should get it
done. I have inquired about this with a couple physicians, and they have each
told me different opinions, but i would also like to know how long it would
take
him to clean his system before the test. he is 5'10, about 125lbs, has
hypoglycemia, is highly active with a high metabolism, and is 18yrs old.
Thankyou

Hello,
amphetamines can usually be detected in a urine test 36-72 hours after the last dose. Nobody can tell for sure for any particular individual because its clearance has to do with the individual's own metabolism, urine pH, water intake etc. I suppose he would drink a lot of water before the test to promote kidney excretion, if he really took amphetamines.
You can contact me again, if you'd like more information.
Kind Regards!
