how long does it take for amoxicillin
For Amoxicillin the elimination half-life ranges from 0.7 to 1.4 hours in patients with normal renal function and metabolism. It quickly leaves the body. But, if you are trying to figure out how long it takes for a pill to be completely eliminated from your system you must also consider the absorption rate. Amoxicillin is rapidly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. So, it is fully in your body usually within 1 to 2 hours after taking the pill. Then it takes an additional .7 to 1.4 hours to be eliminated from the body. Just add up the numbers and it takes 1.7 to 3.4 hours to be completely out of the body from the moment you swallow the pill.
