Terminal elimination half-life: 9–24 hours (mean ~16 hours). Clinical context: prolonged half-life allows once-daily dosing; steady-state achieved within 2–3 days.
Not applicable for systemic elimination; local retention on hair/scalp lasts until next wash (typically 24-48 hours).
Renal (largely unchanged, <1% as metabolites); biliary/fecal (minor). Approximately 36% of a dose is excreted in urine within 6 hours, and up to 50% within 72 hours.
Renal (urine): <1% unchanged; biliary/fecal: <1% as parent compound; majority remains on hair/scalp and is removed via washing and shedding. Systemic absorption negligible.
