  1. Tmax is expressed as median (minimum, maximum)h, hour; Cmax, maximum plasma concentration; AUC0 − t is area under the curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration; AUC0 − r is area under the curve from time 0 to infinity; AUC_%Extrap, percentage of the area under the curve extrapolated to infinity; λz, terminal elimination rate; t1/2, elimination half-life; N, number of cases participating in the calculation
