They’re often used interchangeably—but they’re not the same 👀

Detection time = how long a drug can be found in the system
Withdrawal time = how long you should stop before showing

In short: detection time is what science measures—withdrawal time is what you follow.

Always consult with your veterinarian when planning treatment around competition.
