Specializes in Internal Medicine

Varies but under 2d: time to get rid of half looks like about 6-8 hrs. Varies with type (some are long acting pills that take a day to dissolve), dose, and person. Some people have it digest slower than others but still, 48 hrs would be a LONG time. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3188890/ (see the pictures).
