FRM2 and FRM5 on logit scale corresponds with 41% and 25%, respectively. The estimated factor for IIV on CLM‐5 corresponds with a variance of 0.385.(2.212) = 1.88.

Volumes, clearances and intercompartmental flow are relative to oral bioavailability (Foral), which is not listed for clarity.

Add., additive; BMI, body mass index; CG, central compartment to gallbladder; CI, confidence interval; CL, apparent total body clearance; DGE, duration of gallbladder emptying; FRM2/5, fraction of formation of metabolite M‐2/M‐5; GE, gallbladder emptying; k, rate constant; k a, absorption rate constant; L, lower; P, parent (e.g. in CLP); Prop., proportional; Q, intercompartmental clearance; RSE, relative standard error; SD, standard deviation; SE, standard error; U, upper; VC, central compartment volume; VP, peripheral compartment volume.
