Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Rapidly absorbed, with somewhat less than 50% of the oral dose reaching the urine.
▧ Protein binding :
55-67% (93% for the OH-TA-ester metabolite)
▧ Metabolism :

▧ Half Life :
255 minutes (188 minutes for OH-TA-ester metabolite) after IV administration.
▧ Clearance :
* 4.5 l/min [total plasma clearance]
* 0.22 l/kg [renal plasma clearance]
