CYP3A4 potential inhibitor co-administration (θ*CL/F) 0.862±0.0509
V/F (l) for typical patient (87 kg) 310±6.92
Weight (% change in V/F per 10 kg) 6.13±1.42

CL/F=apparent clearance; V/F=volume of distribution; ka =first-order absorption constant; AST=aspartate transaminase; θ=multiplicative factor for population typical value; Frel =relative bioavailability
