two hours and half an hour
It's not very clear but 'two hours and half hour' is NOT two and a half hours, i.e. 150 minutes.

Charles Davis
: Yes, it principle it can only mean two doses. If it were a single dose 2½ hours before, it would have said dos horas y media, without "hora" at the end. I think it's quite clear, actually; how else could they have said it?

It would be a lot clearer if we knew what has to be applied and what is performed afterwards. Thank you, Charles :-)
