While the Peruvian cuisine only is recognized internationally in the last few years, food and its preparation is one important part of the Peruvian culture and a very personal way to express the Peruvian identity.
The level of drug reaches a peak in the bloodstream after one to two hours, and its felt effects last on average about 5 hours. However, Xanax remains in the bloodstream long after its anti-anxiety effects have worn off. Xanaxâs average half-life is 11 hours. This means that it takes an average of 11 hours for the body to eliminate half the Xanax dose. In older or obese people, or those with liver disease, Xanaxâs half-life is longer, as long as 40 hours. It takes several half-lives to eliminate a drug completely. So for most people, there may still be a small fraction of Xanax in your blood two days or more after taking a single pill.
Urine tests are the most commonly used, but the length of time that Xanax stays in this bodily fluid depends largely on how heavy abuse of the drug has been. For occasional users, a urine test will usually not work past 4 days, but in heavy users, it can detect the substance for up to a week. Saliva and blood tests work on a much shorter timeline. Though they can detect Xanax soon after a dose is taken, saliva tests only work for 2.5 days after the last dose, and blood tests are only effective for a day. Hair tests can detect Xanax for up to a month after the last dose as traces of the drug accumulate in the hair follicles. However, it takes much longer for a drug to appear in hair than in bodily fluids, so if a hair sample is taken too soon after someone takes Xanax, the sample may come back negative for the drug.
