- MetabollsmN/A
- Half life2-3 h (4-OH-alprenolol)
- ExcretionAbout 90% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine in 24 h with about 40% as the glucuronide conjugate of the active metabolite 4-hydroxyalprenolol, 5% as free 4-hydroxyalprenolol, 20 to 30% as alprenolol glucuronide, 1% as desisopropylalprenolol, and less than 1% as unchanged drug; unknown metabolites account for the remainder of the dose.
- Urinary ExcretionN/A
- ClerancePlasma clearance, about 15 mL/min/kg.
- ToxicityIn 2 fatalities due to the ingestion of about 4 g and 20 g, respectively, the following postmortem tissue-alprenolol concentrations were reported: blood 40 and 43 mg/L, liver 72 and 91 μg/g. [S. J. Dickson et al.,J. Anal. Toxicol.,1978, 2, 242–244].
