Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Rilpivirine demonstrates dose-dependent pharmacokinetics and does not change between subscutaneous, IV, and intramuscular administration. Absorption increases with meals.
Tmax, oral administration = 4 hours;
▧ Protein binding :
>99% protein bound.
▧ Metabolism :
Mainly hepatically metabolized by CYP3A4. Because it is highly protein bound, its free plasma concentration is very small thus is unlikely to inhibit cytochrome proteins to a clinically relevant degree despite being an inhibitor of CYP3A4, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Excreted fecally (85%, 25% as unchanged drug) and urine (6%, <1% as unchanged drug)
▧ Half Life :
34-55 hours after oral administration
