Hi Tammy,

Blood tests can only detect this drug for up to 24 hours after your last dose.

I'm not too familiar with the types of blood tests given though. But as far as drug tests in general, specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, appears to be the most accurate and reliable test for detecting drugs and their levels. This type of testing is not initially performed because of cost, but, is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time.

I hope this info helps!
