  • MetabollsmThe active metabolites desmethyldiazepam (nordazepam) and diazepam may be detected in the blood shortly after dosing; desmethyldiazepam accumulates during chronic treatment. Desmethylmedazepam has also been detected in plasma.
  • Half lifemedazepam 1~2 h, desmethyldiazepam about 40~100 h, but there is considerable intersubject variation
  • ExcretionA total of up to about 75% of a dose is excreted in the urine and about 20% is eliminated in the faeces. The major urinary metabolite is oxazepam glucuronide, 2 to 3% of a dose being excreted in this form in 72 h; other urinary metabolites include desmethyldiazepam and temazepam.
