Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration. Approximately 20 to 30% absorbed orally in fasting state; absorption decreased when taken with food.
▧ Protein binding :
Protein binding decreases with increased plasma concentrations. Range, 28 to 86% (average, 70 to 75%). Albumin is not thought to be the primary binding component.
▧ Metabolism :
Presumed hepatic, however metabolites have not been fully characterized.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Urinary excretion after this dose ranges from 1.8 to 24.8 percent (mean: 3 percent). Tissue level studies indicate that bile is an important route of excretion.
▧ Half Life :
The biological half-life after intramuscular or intravenous administration is 5.4 ± 1.0 hours. The serum half-life of lincomycin may be prolonged in patients with severe impairment of renal function compared to patients with normal renal function. In patients with abnormal hepatic function, serum half-life may be twofold longer than in patients with normal hepatic function.
