Paroxetine is extensively metabolized in the liver, mainly through the CYP2D6 enzyme pathway. It also inhibits CYP2D6, which may slow its own metabolism and contribute to interactions with certain medicines. The average elimination half-life is about 21 hours and steady-state levels are generally reached after 1 to 2 weeks of regular dosing.
