Terminal half-life: 8-12 hours (average 10 hours); prolonged in hepatic impairment (up to 24 h) and severe renal impairment (up to 18 h).
Terminal elimination half-life is 10-14 hours in adults; may be prolonged in elderly or hepatic impairment.
Renal: 30-50% unchanged; hepatic metabolism: 50-70% (CYP3A4); biliary/fecal: 10-20%.
Primarily renal (approximately 70%) as metabolites and unchanged drug; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for ~20%.
