Drug

D0098 | Pioglitazone

Molecular Formula C19H20N2O3S
Molecular Weight 356.4
Structure
State solid
Clearance The apparent clearance of orally administered pioglitazone is 5 - 7 L/h [FDA Label].
Volume of distribution 0.63 ± 0.41 L/kg [FDA Label]
Route of elimination Following oral administration, approximately 15% to 30% of the pioglitazone dose is recovered in the urine. Renal elimination of pioglitazone is negligible, and the drug is excreted primarily as metabolites and their conjugates. It is presumed that most of the oral dose is excreted into the bile either unchanged or as metabolites and eliminated in the feces [FDA Label].
Protein binding Pioglitazone is extensively protein bound (> 99%) in human serum, principally to serum albumin. Pioglitazone also binds to other serum proteins, but with lower affinity [FDA Label].
Half life The mean serum half-life of pioglitazone and its metabolites (M-III and M-IV) range from 3 to 7 hours and 16 to 24 hours, respectively [FDA Label].
Absorption Following oral administration of pioglitazone, peak concentrations of pioglitazone were observed within 2 hours. Food slightly delays the time to peak serum concentration (T max) to 3 to 4 hours, but does not alter the extent of absorption (AUC). Steady state concentrations are achieved after 7 days of once daily administration of pioglitazone [FDA Label].
