Terminal elimination half-life is 12-15 hours. Clinical context: Allows for twice-daily dosing in allergic rhinitis; steady-state reached in 2-3 days.
Terminal elimination half-life of loratadine is 8.4 hours (range 3–20 hours); for its active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine, it is 24.9 hours (range 8.8–45 hours). Clinical context: Steady-state concentrations are achieved by day 5.
Primarily renal (70-80% as unchanged drug and metabolites), with approximately 5-10% biliary/fecal elimination.
Primarily renal (approximately 40% as metabolites, <1% as unchanged drug) and fecal (approximately 40% as metabolites).
