Cocaine Clearance From the Body

I do coke on and off. I would say I do 2 grams, sometimes less, but mostly 3. I also drink when I use coke. I want to ask how long will it take to be out of my urine? Does water help? What else helps to get it out of my urine? Are 5 days good enough to let it out of my body?

Excretion of cocaine out of the body depends upon many factors. These include:
  • The amount of drug taken- The more is the amount, the longer it will take for the body to metabolize it.
  • The mode of administration of the drug- oral, intravenous or nasal.
  • Coke when taken with alcohol produces more effects and takes longer to get excreted.
  • The age, gender and weight of an individual. The drug is mainly metabolized by the liver. Only 1% of it is excreted as such in the urine. The rest is metabolized by the liver and then excreted in urine in the form of a metabolite named benzoylecgonine.

So it would be difficult to say with precision the period of elimination of coke.

A rough estimate is 2- 4 days for one time use. For people who use it quite often, it is 8-12 days.

      Roughly around 8 to 12 days. It would depend upon the general health and metabolism of the individual.

      Cocaine has very adverse effect on the baby. You can easily damage your baby’s nervous system by taking it. It is strongly suggested not to take it throughout pregnancy and lactation.

      Hi I took 4 thin lines of coke as I’m not an every weekend user. Had 8 to 9 pints of beer as well this was all on Saturday night Sunday morning gone. I drink every 3 or 4 weekends one night of the weekend only. Before that it was 10 weeks previous since i had dose of coke and before that 6 months, the company I work for is bringing in a drugs test on the 1st of December. I finished my last line of coke Sunday morning at 5am I have been drinking loads of water eaten fruit. Will I pass the test if I’m called on the first of December.

        Have you been an regular user of the drug? If yes, your body is likely to be having collections of the drug in your fatty tissues, which keep releasing the drug on a constant basis.

        However, if you’re not a frequent user, may be you can ask for a repeat test.

      Cocaine takes 2 to 5 days to vanish from urine samples. You have little time though, keep drinking a lot of water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, as these chemicals tend to hold back cocaine in the body.

      Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in each of your meals to speed up detoxification.

      You may pass, provided this was a one time use of the drug and no other chemical/ drug was consumed along with it.

      Usually, the drug takes 3 to 5 days to get excreted from the body, enough to not show up in the drug test. However, consuming alcohol or any other recreational drug with cocaine may considerably retard its excretion.

      Also, if you are a chronic user, the excretion may be much slower. For one time users, the elimination of the drug is pretty fast.

      It is good that you are leaving the drug. However, detoxification takes time. It may take 3 to 6 months, or sometimes even longer. It all depends upon how addicted you were to the drugs. Read more on cocaine excretion.

      25 days should be enough for cleaning. He is already taking all relevant precautions.

      You may inform the authorities about all medications he is taking before the urine test. Sometimes, the results get altered by medical pills. The lab people can take this into account, if they know the medications he is taking.

      Taking cocaine during pregnancy can adversely affect the baby in more than one ways. It may lead to premature labor, low birth weight of the baby, smaller brain size and many other problems.

      Unfortunately, it has already harmed your baby to some extent. It can lead to low birth weight babies and premature labor. The baby may also have some mental problems, like attention deficit disorders. Read here in detail about the effect of cocaine on the baby.

      The only way to detoxify is abstaining from the drug, drinking lot of water. Avoid all stimulants, like tea and coffee, since they tend to hold back the drug in the body.

      Servings full of fruits and vegetables go a long way in detoxifying you.

    Someone I know did 1-1.5 grams of coke on Thursday night and may be .2 Friday around the afternoon for the first time in years. Then around 11 that Friday night took a couple shots not knowing that might have affected the excretion. Did he have enough time in between the cocaine use and the alcohol for it not to severely affect the 2-4 days it usually takes? He has court on Tuesday at 9 a.m so that gives 88 hours from the use to the test.

    Did a key bump of coke last Friday night around 9pm. Was drinking until 3am-ish. Monday to Thursday I went to hot yoga and a workout on Tuesday night. I had a soccer game where I played the whole game and I was non-stop running on Thursday night. I had a drug test (Friday) today which I thought was going to be immediate results but turned out it is being sent to the lab for analysis. I’m assuming they are testing for benzoylecgonine. Before Friday, the last time I did anything was the previous Friday and again is was one key bump. (I know I’m stupid). I’ve been eating normally and drinking water as normal. I had one can of Pepsi on Wednesday and a cup of coffee each morning this week. I also had a beer on Wednesday and a couple of pints Thursday night after soccer. I’m freaking out about my drug test. How long before benzoylecgonine would be out of my system. Do you think I am in the clear?

    I consumed a decent line of cocaine on a Friday and drank alcohol every night after but also consumed water all during day and large amounts 10hrs prior to testing which was 120 hrs after line consumption. 170 5’10. Prior to the night of consumption, I regularly took Q carbo pre-cleansing pills(9) a day, just because I drank liquor daily but not a lot. Love a few shots a day. Questions are? Was it likely the cleansing pills were still flowing through my body and will help? And with what I stated will I have a good chance once urine hits lab after 120hrs?

    I have done about a 0.5 one week ago and a 0.5 a week before that. Today I decided to do a 0.5 of coke again. My final urine test is the following Monday. I get tested weekly and every test is about 5 days from time of usage. I passed every time with flying colors. I usually consume large amounts of water days prior to the test but do no exercise, and I always drink large amounts of water before the actual test. I also don’t use my first piss of the day as the test, and use the middle part of the stream, etc. I feel like I have passed before so I will certainly pass again! Hopefully since it is my last test. I have exactly 4 days to pass, so I know I’m cutting myself close but my test is not a lab test it is a dip 10 panel test, and they do not mind if it is diluted as I tell them I was sick and drank lots of fluids or I exercised with the same excuse. Can you tell me from this information if there is anything I can do to guarantee myself from failing? Or any comments or tips you have for me?

      Since you have been taking alcohol, it’s difficult to comment on the results of your test.

      Detoxification gets delayed when alcohol is present in the body.

    I’ve been drinking two nips for the past year, and smoking crack everyday for the last six months. If I don’t use any of these drugs for 2-4 days, and drink a gallon of water a day, and go bike riding for half hour. Is there a good chance that if I get a drug swab test in four days it will come back negative?

      Since you have been a chronic user of the drug, cleaning won’t be so simple. Some amount of drug is likely to have got stored in fatty tissues of your body. This hidden drug is released into the blood stream on a constant basis to maintain a level of the drug in blood all the time.

      Keep taking all precautions as mentioned above. All the best!

    I am a new mommy and I have done a very good job of abstaining from any type of drug and alcohol since before I became pregnant. However I had my first real night out with friends last night and since my tolerance for alcohol is so different now I got much more drunk then I meant to and was somehow convinced to do a couple bumps of cocaine. I would say I took 5 small key bumps. I am currently breastfeeding my 2 month old baby. I weigh close to 180lbs and I am 5’10” and 1/2. How long will it take before I can safely breastfeed my baby again?

    I have just started using cocaine in the past five weeks, spaced out about 1 and a half weeks apart for each use. But, I used on Wednesday this week, then Friday, then Saturday. I decided I’m done with this and am starting NA meetings this upcoming week. I did a whole eight ball in seven hours on Saturday though. I will get tested on Wednesday.

    I took around 0.3mg of cocaine (first time I tried it in many years) last saturday at around 11 P.M. I have been doing the following and will do the following steps:

    Sunday: 3 liters (around 1 gallon of water)
    Monday: 3 liters of water
    Tuesday: I am going to drink 3 liters of water
    Wednesday: 3 liters of water

    On Thursday I am going to take a urine test. That`s 4 1/2 day without taking anything. I had just one cup of coffee yesterday, and one today. I am going to take the same amount until I take the urine sample.

    Do you think I will pass the test? I can postpone it until Friday, or do you think I am fine on Thursday?

    Hello. I’m a nervous wreck. I took 3-4 hits of marijuana approximately 68 days ago. Before this I hadn’t smoked in 3 years. I also snorted about a half gram of cocaine three months ago and another half gram four months ago. I am a very infrequent user of both marijuana and cocaine and haven’t done either since.

    I had to take a hair follicle test yesterday but they took the hair from my chest. What is the difference in the rate of growth? I know new hairs replace old hairs and they fall out all the time but how often does that occur on the chest? Would it still be a 90 day window? I have heard different opinions on this. Body hair vs head hair. The length of the chest hair is approximately 1 inch. What are my chances of passing the test? I hope I didn’t do enough of each to be above the threshold limit. I think the limit for cocaine and it’s metabolites are 300 pg/mg.

    I used a little cocaine and had a little alcohol on Saturday night. I have a drug test for probation on Thursday. Is there any way I can pass by taking prenatal vitamins and b12 and one daily vitamins and drinking water and cranberry juice I way 180 pounds?

      How much longer does it take for cocaine to get out your system if I drink alcohol heavy, no liquor just beer?

      It all depends whether you have been taking the drug regularly or this was a one time use.

      If it was a one time use, you have chances of passing the test. Be aggressive about cleansing yourself.

      However, if you take it often, it’s difficult to be clean so soon.

    I have been clean for a little more then 30 days. I usually only do it every blue moon. I only did a few numbs and a few cups of alcohol, 2, Saturday night. If I drink lots of water and cranberry juice is it possible to pass?

    Hi, I done cocaine 102 days ago would say done a gram between 4 of us 2 nights running, ment to be having a hair strand test done in 2 weeks time, I’m also 30 weeks pregnant, didn’t know I was pregnant at the time, I have bleached and dyed my hair on 24 July. What’s the chances of it showing up in my hair please

      You are likely to pass.

      Bleaching or dyeing cannot hide the drug. It’s better to trim your hail as short as possible to increase your chances.

      The point is, the drug may be there in the older hair, that is, the ends of the hair, if you hair are very long.

      The newer hair is likely to be clean.

    I have done about a 20$ of crack 4 days ago and have been flushing my system with water ever since until the point where my urine is clear. I have had coffee and alcohol the past two days. Tomorrow is day number 5 and I have a drug test. Will I pass?

      Though you have good chances of passing the test, can’t assure you. This would depend upon how much alcohol did you have. If it’s huge amount, it’s likely that the drug is till in your system.

    What is considered a bing and a lot of cocaine. Is 4 grams in one day a lot? And if it was my first time in over 3 months can I pass a drug test for federal probation in 4 days after using 4 grams. How much faster does juice and veggies speed up the process?

      You don’t have much time in hand. Need to be very aggressive about cleansing yourself. Drink lots of water throughout the day to flush off the drug out of the body.

      Fruit juices and veggies are detoxifiers and help the liver a great deal in the cleaning process.

        Thank you. I took the test and will keep you posted on my outcome. I delayed it by a day so hopefully that helped. I am a smoker would that hurt my chances? Pack a day. Also I drank juice of carrots beets lemon spinach and ate a lot of mangoes and peaches. I also drank a soup everyday and drank maybe a gallon of water a day. Until the last two days were I started drinking Lot, along with a salad. Do you think I am good? I also drank quite a bit the day and tried not to dilute the sample because than the next time they do send it to the lab. So so nervous.

    Hi there,

    I snorted about 0.2 grams of cocaine on July 22 while drinking. As well in the previous month I snorted on 3 different occasions each time no more than 0.5 per occasion.
    In the past year I probably have done the drug here and there on the weekends, some months where I partook on a weekend basis. I’m 5’9 weigh about 140lbs and have a urine test coming up on August 8. What are my chances of passing if I sustain from the drug but am still casually drinking.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    I did a tiny amount of coke on 2 consecutive Saturdays – let’s say 2 key bumps on the first and 1 line the next. With alcohol both times. Prior to that, would have been about 6 months earlier and maybe again 6 months before that. Those 2 times maybe closer to a gram. Up for a new job which may require a hair test. Soonest that would be is 2 months from last use. Maybe longer if I’m lucky. Good shape, fairly active – how are chances for a hair test?

      This cannot be said as a one time use.

      It usually takes 10 to 15 days to cleanse the system with this usage.

      You need to be very aggressive about cleansing yourself within 8 days. Drink lots of fluids to flush out the drug. Avoid alcohol. Limit to tea and coffee. These chemicals hold back cocaine metabolites in the body.

      Include plenty of fresh fruits and stewed vegetables in your meals. You may read here more about steps that help in cleansing- http://buddymd.com/excrete-cocaine-quickly

My boyfriend did 0.5 g coke with a 1.5 bottle of wine yesterday and he will have a pre-employment urine test in 20 days (he will get the result immediately after the test, so it might be a dip test or something like that). He uses coke rarely, 2 max 3 times a year, every time max. 0.5 g and always many months pass between the usage. Previous use was 8 months ago. He is slim with normal metabolism, and he is planning to go to sauna and drink a lot of water till the test, and avoid alcohol – as we read the recommendations. What do you think?

I’m concerned about the oral eze mouth swab that I took on April 26. That basically gives me 19 days clean before being swabbed and rinsed 90 minutes with alcohol free mouthwash. Will I pass the swab test? Tomorrow makes it two weeks and results still have not come back. I am worried please help.
