Terminal elimination half-life of loratadine is 8.4 hours (range 3–20 hours); for its active metabolite descarboethoxyloratadine, it is 24.9 hours (range 8.8–45 hours). Clinical context: Steady-state concentrations are achieved by day 5.
Terminal elimination half-life is 10-14 hours in adults; may be prolonged in elderly or hepatic impairment.
Primarily renal (approximately 40% as metabolites, <1% as unchanged drug) and fecal (approximately 40% as metabolites).
Primarily renal (approximately 70%) as metabolites and unchanged drug; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for ~20%.
