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 approximately 7 hours in adults, which supports twice-daily dosing for sustained ocular effects.
Renal: 30-50% unchanged; hepatic metabolism: 50-70% (CYP3A4); biliary/fecal: 10-20%.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (approximately 30-40% of dose) and biliary/fecal elimination of metabolites (60-70%).
