Cocaine is metabolized mainly to benzoylecgonine and ecgonine methylester. Benzoylecgonine appears in circulation 15-30 minutes after cocaine administration. Elimination half-life of benzoylecgonine is 5-6 hours. Benzoylecgonine will be detectable in urine after 2-3 hours and urine remains positive for 2-3 days (longer for chronic abusers) after cocaine use.
