Half-lifeThe terminal phase half-life observed for sildenafil is approximately 3 to 5 hours. Plasma sildenafil concentrations appear to decline in a biphasic manner following oral administration, with a terminal elimination half-life of about 4 hours (range: 3-5 hours). High clearance was the principal determinant of short elimination half-lives in rodents (0.4-1.3 hr), whereas moderate clearance in dog and man resulted in longer half-lives (6.1 and 3.7 hr respectively).
Protein bindingIt is generally observed that sildenafil and its main circulating N-desmethyl metabolite are both estimated to be about 96% bound to plasma proteins. Nevertheless, it has been determined that protein binding for sildenafil is independent of total drug concentrations.
