ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The regular hemodialysis sessions every 2-3 days did not affect the elimination rate of ritanserin, as the terminal half-life in these patients (39 +/- 23 hr) is similar to that in healthy volunteers (41 +/- 14 hr)."2.67Pharmacokinetics of ritanserin in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
