How long does it take for pills to get out of you system?

Hi Ashley,
The term for getting medication out of your system is the elimination rate. This is different for all medications. Antibiotics are a good example. Some you take once a day, others up 4 times daily. Dosing is usually related to the half life of the drug or how long it takes to eliminate 50% of the medication. The longer time between doses the longer the half life and hence total ellimination of the drug(pill). Pot is a little different in that it can be stored in fat cells, even when it is elliminated from the blood. So if a person burns up some of those fat cells through diet or exercise, test can be posative up to 6 months after last use. This is usually with heavy users. A good source for determining the half life of a drug is the PDR (The Physicians Desk Reference). The half life will usually be found in the section Pharmacokinetics. I hope this helps.
well what pills?
