									▧ Absorption : 
Readily absorbed after oral or parenteral administration. The peak plasma level for caffeine range from 6-10mg/L and the mean time to reach peak concentration ranged from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
▧ Volume of Distribution : 
* 0.8 to 0.9 L/kg [infants]
* 0.6 L/kg [adults]
▧ Protein binding : 
Low (25 to 36%).
▧ Metabolism : 
Hepatic cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP 1A2) is involved in caffeine biotransformation. About 80% of a dose of caffeine is metabolized to paraxanthine (1,7-dimethylxanthine), 10% to theobromine (3,7-dimethylxanthine), and 4% to theophylline (1,3-dimethylxanthine).
▧ Route of Elimination : 
In young infants, the elimination of caffeine is much slower than that in adults due to immature hepatic and/or renal function.
▧ Half Life : 
3 to 7 hours in adults, 65 to 130 hours in neonates
