The vestibular system includes the parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and eye movements. The type and severity of vestibular disorder symptoms can vary considerably, and be frightening and difficult to describe.
Heroin can be detected in urine for 1-2 days. However, heroin will show up in the urine for longer periods if taken in higher amounts, or if someone is a habitual heroin abuser. Sometimes heroin can linger in the body longer depending on factors like weight or body mass.
Extensively metabolized by the liver, only 2-12% is excreted as unchanged drug, while 60-80% is excreted as morphine-3-glucuronide. The half-life of morphine is 1.7-4.5 hours. Heroin is rapidly metabolized (plasma half-life is 3 minutes), first to 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM) and further to morphine. The urinary excretion profile is similar to morphine, in that 7% is excreted as unchanged morphine and 50-60% as glucuronides. Trace amounts of 6-MAM, a specific metabolite of heroin, are also excreted for approximately 6-8 hours following heroin use.
