1 hour 30 min, take one 30 minutes after the doc gives you the pills
1 hour
30 minutes, each pills effect lasts 30 min
or 2 hours and 30 min, stupid person thinks you can only take them on half hours
example: got pills at 2:00 took first one at 2:30 next at 3:30 and last at 4:30
You take one now and...
the other two last you forever.
