How long does it take for a drug to be eliminated from the body?

Depends: On the drug and it's solubility characteristics and elimination half-life. You would need to be more specific for a better answer.

Depends: This depends on several factors. Not all drugs are eliminated from the body at the same rate, but if you know the half life and dose you can plug it in this calculator: http://www.drugsdb.com/resources/drug-half-life-calculator/ This is just an estimate. Other factors such as your kidney function and liver function can affect the clearance of medicine also.

It depends: On the half life of the drug. Some drugs require once a day dosing because they take longer to be eliminated while some drugs take shorter and require to be taken every 4 hours or every 8 or 12 hours
