In this project, a differential equation was solved in order to find a solution to show how long a patient must wait between doses.  This wait time is also known as the half-life of a drug.  Once this solution was found, experimental values were used from a different study done and plugged in to find the experimental half life of Ibuprofen.  The value found was slightly high but close to the expected value of two hours.  These values utilized were of a different brand of the generic drug Ibuprofen so my results may show that there is variance between generic and brand name drugs.
