2-4 hours in children; prolonged in neonates (up to 30 hours) and hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life is 12 hours (range 10-15 hours) in patients with normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 25 hours in severe cases).
Renal excretion of conjugated metabolites (75-80% as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates, <10% as unchanged drug); biliary/fecal elimination accounts for <5%.
Primarily renal excretion (approximately 70% unchanged drug); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 10-15% as metabolites.
