Terminal half-life approximately 5-6 hours; clinical context: dosing every 6-8 hours required due to relatively short half-life; steady-state achieved within 24-30 hours.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 5 hours (range 4-6 hours) in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment.
Renal (90-95% as unchanged drug and metabolites, primarily glucuronide conjugates); biliary/fecal (minor, <5%).
Renal: approximately 90% as metabolites and conjugates; biliary/fecal: minor (less than 10%)
