| Half-life | — | — | The elimination half life after epidural administration is 30 minutes but otherwise can range from 6-23h. The elimination half-life of the drug ranges from 6 to 24 hours, with a mean of about 12 hours. THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF CLONIDINE WERE INVESTIGATED IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS OVER A TIME MORE THAN 3 TIMES LONGER THAN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. THE COMPLETE BIOAVAILABILITY OF CLONIDINE AND ITS ELIMINATION T/2 (20 TO 25.5 HOURS) REMAINED CONSTANT AFTER SINGLE AND MULTIPLE DOSES. The plasma half-life of clonidine is 6-20 hours in patients with normal renal function. The half-life in patients with impaired renal function has been reported to range from 18-41 hours. The elimination half-life of the drug may be dose dependent, increasing with increasing dose. | — | — | |
