Harmonic mean ± pseudo-standard deviation; half-life from the plasma concentrations during the terminal phase after administration of the last dose.
Observed accumulation ratio (calculated as the ratio of AUC(0,24 h) on day 14 or 12 to AUC(0,24 h) on day 1), median and range are presented. ND, Not determined.
