How about an uneducated guess...total body clearance time is twice the half life. I am not being facetious because I do not know the answer. However I would have thought that life of it's "pharmacological activity" is the important factor as if it has a half life of so many hours, but is pharmacologically inactive, then "half life" is meaningless.
