Traditionally, a drugs half life is under ideal conditions before consumption. An 8 hour half life means that the medication may (not always, just that it is assumed plausible) that the strength of the medication will decrease by half in a certain length of time. In this case, you said 8 hours so we would assume (again, not always the case) that in 8 hours a 10mg medication would be decreased in strength by half giving it the potency of 5mg.
