Mebutamate is absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream of man, reaching a peak concentration between the first and second hours after oral administration.
The metabolism of mebutamate leads to at least three urinary end-products: unchanged drug present in small quantities, a hydroxylated derivative, 2-methyl-2-(
-hydroxyl-
-methylpropyl)-1,3-propanediol dicarbamate, which is the primary metabolite and a glucuronide conjugate.
