Terminal elimination half-life: 12-15 hours in healthy adults; clinically relevant for once-daily dosing.
Terminal elimination half-life is 12-18 hours in healthy adults; prolonged to 24-36 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min), requiring dose adjustment.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug: 60-70%; fecal/biliary elimination: 20-30%; hepatic metabolism accounts for <10%.
Primarily renal (70% unchanged), with 20% biliary/fecal and 10% metabolic degradation.
