duration:
None (131) · 6–10 h subjective; full pharmacologic effect considerably longer. (1) · N/A (replacement) (3)
halflife:
None (131) · Estimated ~12–17 h (some sources cite up to ~21 h); active metabolites prolong effect. (1) · N/A (incorporated into hemoglobin and tissue stores) (1) · ~0.5 hours plasma; tissue retention longer (1) · ~6 days (plasma); hepatic stores last 3-5 years (1)
bioavailability:
None (131) · 10-20% (oral; reduced by food, calcium, antacids, PPIs, tea/coffee; enhanced by ascorbate) (1) · High (oral) (1) · Not formally characterized in humans. (1) · Oral ~1-3% via passive diffusion at high doses (independent of intrinsic factor); IM/SC ~100% (1)
pregnancy:
None (131) · Avoid. Benzodiazepines are associated with neonatal sedation, floppy-infant syndrome, and withdrawal; teratogenic signal weak but non-zero. Designer benzo with no safety data, assume worst-case.
