AUC0-90: AUC from timepoint 0–90 min; AUC0-inf: AUC from timepoint 0 to infinity; AUCt: area under the plasma concentration–time curve from time 0 to the time of the last sampling timepoint; Clast: observed plasma concentration at the last sampling timepoint; Cmax: maximum observed plasma concentration; h: hours; Max: maximum value; Min: minimum value; n: number; SD: standard deviation; T1/2(z): terminal elimination half-life; Tmax: time to Cmax.
