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 4.5–6 hours (mean 5 hours); may be prolonged in elderly or patients with renal impairment
Primarily renal excretion (approximately 70% unchanged drug); biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 10-15% as metabolites.
