Dược Động Học :
▧ Protein binding :
Less than 20%.
▧ Metabolism :
Metabolism is limited (<10%). Most of the active compound is excreted renally (81%). A small proportion is glucuronidated, oxidated, N-formylated or conjugated to a hexose.
▧ Route of Elimination :
Varenicline undergoes minimal metabolism, with 92% excreted unchanged in the urine. Renal elimination of varenicline is primarily through glomerular filtration along with active tubular secretion possibly via the organic cation transporter, OCT2.
▧ Half Life :
The elimination half-life of varenicline is approximately 24 hours
