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 is 10-14 hours in adults; may be prolonged in elderly or hepatic impairment.
Primarily renal (70-80% as unchanged drug and metabolites), with approximately 5-10% biliary/fecal elimination.
Primarily renal (approximately 70%) as metabolites and unchanged drug; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for ~20%.
