How Long Does Morphine Stay In The System?
Question: how long does 15 mg of morphine stay in the system if you need to urine test
Brief Answer:
24 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
The half life of Morphine is 2 to 4 hours. Its the time required for the amount of drug in the body to be reduced by one-half. It would take 24 hours for the drug to be eliminated based on you taking 15 mg , provided you don't have any renal dysfunction.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
