Terminal elimination half-life: 2-5 hours (immediate-release); 8-14 hours (extended-release). Context: shorter half-life necessitates multiple daily dosing for immediate-release; extended-release allows once-daily dosing.
Terminal elimination half-life: 4.5 hours (range 3.5-6.0 hours). Clinical context: Steady state achieved within 24 hours; no accumulation with normal renal function.
Renal: 70-80% as metabolites; Fecal: 15-20% as metabolites; <1% unchanged in urine
Renal elimination of unchanged drug and metabolites: 70% (60% unchanged, 40% as glucuronide conjugate); biliary/fecal: 30% (primarily metabolites).
