AUC0–24, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 h to 24 h; AUC0–12, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 0 h to 12 h; AUCinf, area under the plasma concentration-time curve at infinity; Cmax, maximum plasma concentration; Tmax, time to maximum plasma concentration; t1/2, terminal elimination half-life; CL, clearance; Vss, volume of distribution at steady state. AUC0–24 was used for the 24-h regimens, and AUC0–12 was used for the 12-h regimen.
Values represent the mean (coefficient of variation [in percent]) for all parameters except Tmax, for which the values are the median (range).
