Brief Answer:
You'll have to ask for a specific drug

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Different drugs may use different metabolic pathways. Not every drug is excreted to the urine. Some drugs are metabolized by the liver for example. And it's not the same even for drugs that have end up in the urine. Each drug has a different half-life time.
You'll have to ask about a specific drug and also include details about your history and other drugs you may use.

If you'd like information about a specific drug, please use your follow-up questions to ask and include the details that I asked for.

Kind Regards!
