Terminal elimination half-life is 6-8 hours; in moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min) extends to 12-15 hours.
Terminal elimination half-life: 3-4 hours. In renal impairment, half-life may be prolonged up to 12 hours.
Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug), with 15-20% fecal elimination via biliary secretion.
Renal: 80-90% as unchanged drug and inactive metabolites; biliary/fecal: 10-20%.
