- The dose used: The amount of Belbuca someone uses will impact how long it stays in their system, and whether or not someone is a long-term taker of the drug can also play a role. Drugs can accumulate in the system of the patient, so the more or the longer someone uses something like Belbuca, the longer it will take their system to eliminate all of it.
- Metabolism: People with faster metabolisms eliminate drugs from their system faster than people with slow metabolisms, in most cases.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions and hepatic impairment can slow down how long it takes for a drug to leave the system of a patient.
- Age: It takes longer for older people to eliminate substances from their system than younger people, usually.
Other factors that influence how long Belbuca stays in your system can include physical activity level and body weight. More active people and also larger people tend to have faster elimination times for substances they use. Well-hydrated people can also eliminate drugs from their system faster because they urinate more.
