Peak serum concentration is observed at 1.5 hour and its apparent half life is 2-6 hour. It is extensively protein bound (99%). The amount absorbed is not significantly different when taken before or after food. Approximately 95% of a dose is excreted in the urine within 24 hours. Small amounts are excreted in breast milk.
