After taking ritilan for over a year, how long does it stay in my childs system?

2-3 days : If you are talking about the regular formula (not the extended release), then only about 2-3 days at the most.

Depends: Depending on whether it's long acting or shorter acting, but after 5 half lives it's out, so for immediate release 1-2 days, for long acting 3-5 days.
