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).
Terminal elimination half-life is 2-4 hours in children; prolonged in neonates or hepatic impairment.
Primarily renal excretion (approximately 70% unchanged drug); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 10-15% as metabolites.
Renal excretion of conjugated metabolites (approximately 70-90%) and unchanged drug (<10%). Biliary/fecal excretion accounts for <10%.
