Pharmacokinetics

Following oral administration, tranylcypromine is quickly and completely absorbed from the digestive system.Tranylcypromine's bioavailability varies, but it is generally estimated to be 50%.Tranylcypromine is present in large amounts throughout the body and can cross the blood-brain barrier.The liver's CYP2C19 and other enzymes break down tranylcypromine, which is then eliminated in the urine.The half-life of tranylcypromine is roughly 3 hours.
