Absorption: Well absorbed from the GI tract (oral). Distribution: Protein-binding: 96%. Metabolism: Extensively hepatic by oxidation and glucuronidation. Excretion: Urine and faeces (as metabolites); 6-7 days (elimination half-life of the R-enantiomer).
Special Precautions
Monitor liver function regularly in hepatically impaired patients on prolonged therapy. Monitoring serum levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) may be useful in evaluating the patient's clincial progress.
