Doxycycline is almost completely absorbed and is not subject to presystemic metabolism, the mean bioavailability being approximately 93%. Absorption is rapid (effective concentrations are attained as from the first hour), and the peak serum concentration occurs after 2 to 4 hours.

Sertraline is absorbed slowly when taken orally, achieving its maximal concentration in the plasma 4 to 6 hours after ingestion.

When taken by mouth, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) begins to work in about 15 to 30 minutes. However, it takes around 1 to 3 hours for Benadryl to reach maximum concentrations in the body, so you may not notice the full effects of the drug until that amount of time has elapsed.

A pill is usually absorbed into the blood through the stomach walls after it is swallowed – these can become active in a few minutes but usually take an hour or two to reach the highest concentration in the blood. IV drugs are injected directly into the blood work much faster – sometimes in seconds or minutes.

But it usually takes only 1 to 6 days. The treatment can cause burning or itching. Some medications can also be taken orally (swallowed) in the form of a single tablet. But that can lead to interactions with other medications and result in side effects such as nausea, diarrhea or a headache.

The tablets and liquid take the same amount of time to be absorbed. Taking levetiracetam with food may slow down the time it takes for the body to absorb the drug by about 1 hour. The highest blood levels are reached in 1 to 2 hours after taking a dose of this medicine.

Although it only takes two minutes for the caffeine to be absorbed, leaving it sitting on your head for longer—5, 10, even 20 minutes—before rinsing it out results in larger quantities of caffeine being absorbed by the follicles.

Official Answer It takes around 5.5 x elimination half life's for a medicine to be out of your system. Therefore it would take 374 hours about 15.5 days (5.5 x 68 hours) for it to be eliminated from the system. So it'll be in your system for that period of time, after the last dose.
