Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

It depends on the reason for which it is being taken. The time it would show its effects again depends on the cause for which you have been prescribed and also the dosage in which it has been given.
In general, The drug undergoes widespread distribution into body tissues. Peak levels in skin are achieved 3 hours after administration and in lungs concentrations are at peak within the 24 hours after a single dose

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
