8.4 hours (range 3-20 hours) for loratadine; 28 hours (range 8.8-92 hours) for active metabolite desloratadine, allowing once-daily dosing.
Terminal elimination half-life is 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal/hepatic impairment.
Renal: ~40% as metabolites, <1% unchanged; Fecal: ~40%; Biliary: minor contribution.
Renal excretion of metabolites (approx. 60%) and unchanged drug (<5%); biliary/fecal elimination accounts for about 40%.
