Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Vardenafil is rapidly absorbed with absolute bioavailability of approximately 15%.
▧ Volume of Distribution :
* 208 L
▧ Protein binding :
95%
▧ Metabolism :
Vardenafil is metabolized predominantly by the hepatic enzyme CYP3A4, with contribution from the CYP3A5 and CYP2C isoforms. The major circulating metabolite, M1, results from desethylation at the piperazine moiety of vardenafil. M1 shows a phosphodiesterase selectivity profile similar to that of vardenafil and an in vitro inhibitory potency for PDE5 28% of that of vardenafil.
▧ Route of Elimination :
After oral administration, vardenafil is excreted as metabolites predominantly in the feces (approximately 91-95% of administered oral dose) and to a lesser extent in the urine (approximately 2-6% of administered oral dose).
▧ Half Life :
4-5 hours
▧ Clearance :
* 56 L/h
