7.8 hours (terminal); clinical context: prolonged in elderly and renal impairment, requiring dose adjustment.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 4.5–6 hours (mean 5 hours); may be prolonged in elderly or patients with renal impairment
Renal: 50% as unchanged drug, 25% as glucuronide conjugate; Biliary/Fecal: 25% as metabolites.
