How Long Does Marinol Stay in Your System

What is Marinol

Marinol is a drug used to treat loss of appetite stemming from weight loss during AIDS. It may also be used to treat nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

How long does Marinol stay in the body

The primary ingredient of Marinol is dronabinol, which is essentially a pure isomer of THC. The elimination half-life of dronabinol is a two-compartment model, the first (alpha half-life) being of about 4 hours, while the second (beta half-life) being between 25-36 hours.

This puts the time required for elimination of Marinol from your body at roughly between 5 days 17½ hours and 8 days 6 hours.

This timeframe is subject to variation depending on factors listed below:

• Age
• Health conditions
• Body mass
• Hydration levels and dietary habits
• Liver and kidney conditions
