Absorption- Well absorbed after oral administration
Distribution-Widely distributed in the body.96% bound to the plasma proteins
Metabolism- Metabolized in the liver to its metabolites. S isomer of the drug is metabolized by glucoronidation and R-isomer is metabolized by glucoronidation followed by oxidation to its metabolites
Excretion- Excreted via urine and feces
