4-5 hours in normal renal function; prolonged to 12-20 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl < 20 mL/min)
Terminal elimination half-life: 0.5-1 hour (normal renal function); prolonged to 2-3 hours in anuria. Clinically, dosing every 6 hours is recommended.
Renal: 80-90% unchanged via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion; biliary/fecal: 10-20%
