HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The half life of a medication is the time it takes for the amount of medication in the body to decrease by half.

It takes approximately 3 to 5 half lives for a medication to be completely eliminated.

Epilim has a half life of 8 to 20 hours.

This means that it would take 24 hours to 100 hours (approx 4 days) for this medication to be eliminated from the body

i hope this helps
