MetabolismExtensively metabolized in the liver, primarily by CYP3A4 and CYP2D6; also by CYP2C8 and CYP2C19.

Half-LifeApproximately 7 hours (range 5-12 hours) in healthy subjects; prolonged in hepatic impairment.

ExcretionPrimarily excreted in urine (75%) and feces (25%); less than 5% excreted unchanged.
