why some pills work all day, whole others work only for an hour or two

If someone takes an ibuprofen, Xanax, gas-x, it works only for a short amount of time, but if they take vitamins or other daily medications, it works all day long. How does this work?

Some pills are slow release, some pills have a longer duration of action.

It all depends on how fast your body breaks down the medicine and how the medication is delivered.
