Drug Detection Times: Understanding Physiological, Drug, And Methodological Determinants
Drug detection times vary depending on physiological factors (age, gender, weight, metabolism), drug properties (solubility, half-life, route of use), and detection methods (urine, blood, hair). Physiological factors influence drug metabolism and elimination, while drug properties affect bioavailability and detection times. Detection methods have varying accuracy levels and specimen collection and analysis techniques can impact results.
