Chemical description

Therapeutic characteristics

Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
Primarily excreted by filtration and secretion as unchanged drug. Some liver metabolism may occur. The glucuronide is the most significant metabolite. Non-porphyrinogenic metabolism.
Personal communication

IPNet drug reports
Uneventful use reported in 47 patients with acute porphyria.
