Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2-4 hours in healthy adults; may be prolonged in elderly or patients with hepatic impairment.
5-9 hours (terminal elimination half-life); in elderly or renal impairment, may extend up to 20 hours; clinical context: dosing adjustments recommended in renal impairment.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 60% of elimination; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for approximately 40%.
Primarily renal excretion of metabolites (60-80%) with less than 1% unchanged drug; biliary/fecal excretion accounts for 20-40%.
