* Cmax = maximum plasma concentration; Tmax = time of Cmax; AUC(0-t) = area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 time to the time of the last measurable plasma concentration; AUC(0-∞) = area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity; AUCext (%) = percent of AUC(0-∞) determined by extrapolation; λz = "terminal" exponential rate constant; (t1/2)z = "terminal" exponential half-life; CL = clearance; Vz = "terminal" exponential volume of distribution; SD = standard deviation and %CV = percent coefficient of variation.
