Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Oxaprozin is 95% absorbed after oral administration. Food may reduce the rate of absorption of oxaprozin, but the extent of absorption is unchanged. Antacids do not significantly affect the extent and rate of oxaprozin absorption.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 11 to 17 L/70 kg
▧ Protein binding :
>99.5% bound to albumin
▧ Metabolism :
Hepatic. Ester and ether glucuronide are the major conjugated metabolites of oxaprozin, and do not have significant pharmacologic activity.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Oxaprozin is expected to be excreted in human milk based on its physical-chemical properties; however, the amount of oxaprozin excreted in breast milk has not been evaluated. Approximately 95% of oxaprozin is metabolized by the liver. Approximately 5% of the oxaprozin dose is excreted unchanged in the urine. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the dose is excreted in the urine and 35% in the feces as metabolite.
Biliary excretion of unchanged oxaprozin is a minor pathway. Several oxaprozin metabolites have been identified in human urine or feces.
▧ Half Life :
54.9 hours
