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 approximately 6-7 hours. Steady-state is achieved within 2 days.
Primarily renal excretion (approximately 70% unchanged drug); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 10-15% as metabolites.
Renal excretion of metabolites accounts for approximately 70% of a dose; fecal excretion accounts for about 20%.
