The maximum concentration in the plasma is reached 2 hours after administration. 70% of bromazepam binds to plasma proteins. Excretion occurs in the urine, mainly in the form of glucuronides of hydroxyl metabolites: 3-hydroxybromazepam and a derivative of 3-hydroxybenzolpyridine. Both metabolites are active, but their pharmacological activity is of no clinical significance, since they are rapidly eliminated. Approximately 2% of bromazepam enters the urine unchanged. The half-elimination period of bromazepam from plasma is about 12 hours. Like all benzodiazepines, bromazepam penetrates the placental barrier and is excreted in the mother's milk.
