What Is The Duration For Pseudoephedrine Detoxification Naturally From The Body?

I m a 24 year old male weighing roughly around 175lbs. I ve been taking Claratin D for a few weeks for seasonal allergies and was wondering how long it would take for the Pseudoephedrine to clear my system? I have a military related drug test coming up in a week and do not wish to have complications arise from a false positive; which I ve just recently found to be possible.

Hello,

The clearance of Pseudophedrine depends upon the load of metabolites in the circulating system which depends upon the number of doses consumed with mg content and for how much duration of time period. Usual intake of 5-7 doses over a period of 2-3 days will clear from the system within next 48 hours. If it is consumed over a period of month or so on consistent basis, it may take even up to a period of 1 week or so for the systemic clearance.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
