How Long Does Sudafed Remain In Body?

I have been taking Sudafed 60mg tablets (for a chest infection) for two days, 3 tablets on the first day and 4 today. My doctor told me to take between 3 and 4 per day until they are all gone. I am going to a concert in 1.5 days time and will be taking mdma. How long will the Sudafed stay in my system if I stop taking it in approxiamately 20 hours? How long does would it take for my body to rid itself of the Sudafed? I know I amtaking a big risk here, please don t tell me to not take the mdma because that is not what I m asking. I just want to know when I should stop taking the Sudafed so to lower the risk of something bad (reaction, overdose etc) happening at the concert?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sudafed takes about 30 to 40 hours to clear away from the body. In case you want to clear the test and go for a concert then you should omit the dose right from now.

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

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
