According to Wiki the half-life of cypro is 1-4 hours and the BNF recommends taking it 3-4 times a day for allergies, so I would think that suggests a short half-life. On PubMed I found it lasts up to 12 hours in cats, but only three in itchy dogs. There doesn't seem to be much information on the half-life of cypro in humans.
