Oral administration once a day.
Its pharmacokinetic data (moderately elevated molecular weight, high percentage of plasma protein binding and high volume of distribution) (Pfizer 2017, Kirsten 1998, Elliot 1987) probably explain the negligible excretion observed in milk (Pfizer 2017, Versmissen 2016, Jensen 2013 y 2014).
