Values for 20 mg dose. CL, clearance; Vc, central volume of distribution; Vp, peripheral volume of distribution; Vss, volume of distribution at steady-state; Q, intercompartmental clearance; Ka, absorption rate constant; ALAG, absorption lag time; D1, duration of the putative zero order infusion into the central compartment; F, (relative) bioavailability; AUC, area under the concentration vs. time curve; t1/2, elimination half-life.
