Effect of urinary pH on the elimination half-life of pseudoephedrine. Since pseudoephridine is a weak base, as urine pH becomes more alkaline, the concentration of nonionized drug in tubular fluid increases and is subject to reabsorption. This decreases renal elimination and prolongs the half-life (from reference 20 with permission).
