Terminal elimination half-life is 8-12 hours in patients with normal renal function; clinical context: dosing interval adjustment recommended in renal impairment.
2.5-3.5 hours; extended to 8-12 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 65% of elimination; biliary/fecal excretion constitutes about 30%.
Renal: 60-80% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: 15-25% as metabolites and unchanged drug.
