Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Pantoprazole is well absorbed. It undergoes little first-pass metabolism resulting in an absolute bioavailability of approximately 77%.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 11.0 to 23.6 L
▧ Protein binding :
98%
▧ Metabolism :
Pantoprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver through the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system. The main metabolic pathway is demethylation, by CYP2C19, with subsequent sulfation; other metabolic pathways include oxidation by CYP3A4. There is no evidence that any of the pantoprazole metabolites have significant pharmacologic activity.
▧ Route of Elimination :
After administration of a single intravenous dose of 14C-labeled pantoprazole to healthy, normal metabolizer subjects, approximately 71% of the dose was excreted in the urine with 18% excreted in the feces through biliary excretion.
▧ Half Life :
1 hour
▧ Clearance :
* 7.6-14.0 L/h
