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 approximately 7.5 hours; in elderly or renal impairment, half-life may be prolonged up to 10 hours, requiring dose adjustment
Primarily renal excretion (approximately 70% unchanged drug); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 10-15% as metabolites.
