Ok people, time to update and expand upon information; may sticky this, at least temporarily- by all means those who can contribute should- the focus is on BA% via various routes, and T1/2, and corresponding duration. Also, SDU, that is, Standard Dosage Unit, used for conversion and equivalent purposes. Example? 10mg IV morphine is a SDU; ~20mg oxycodone (range(or R)=15-30mg) P.O., IV oxycodone SDU is 10-15mg.

Thank you :) For now have copy and pasted some shall get to it, I suppose

All bioavailabilies are relative to IV bioavailability (100% ). For those that do not know, the bioavailability of a substance is basically the percentage of the dose that gets absorbed. It changes drastically for each method of administration. A half-life is the amount of time it takes for your body to eliminate half of the substance that you took. There is a lot of conflicting data on the exact bioavailabilities of each substance so every thing thats listed here is the average.

Opiates
Methadone: Oral 84%.(range 40-95) Elimination half-life:12-40hrs
hours,
Ketobemiodone: Oral 34% +/-10%; Rectal 44% +/- 9%. Elimination half-life: 2.25- 2.45 hours
Meperidine: Rectal 55%, IM 80-85% Elimination half-life 3.0 h
Buprenorphine: Oral 10-22%, Sublingual 20-50%* IM 90-100%. Elimination half-life: 12-44 hours SL, 3-4hrs IV/IM/range 1.7-7
Hydromorphone: Oral-30-35%(can reach 50%); Intranasal 52.4%; Rectal 33%
Dihydrocodeine: Oral 20%. Elimination halflife 4 hours (inhibitors can dramatically increase effects)
Heroin: Oral Dose dependent and variable; 27-70% ; IM 85%
Fentanyl: Transdermal 92%; Sublingual and Buccal 50%; Intranasal 70%. Protein binding 80-85% Elimination half-life 3-12 hours
Sufentanil: Intranasal 78%,
Remifentanil: Protein binding 70%. Elimination half-life 1-20 minutes
Alfentanil: 92% Protein binding. Elimination half-life is 1.5-2 hours
Morphine: Oral 30%; Rectal 30%; Intranasal 15-20%, Chitosan(a linear polysaccharide that helps absorb drugs better) has been shown to increase nasal bioavailability of morphine from around 10-20% to over 60%, SC-60%, protein binding 30-40%, half-life is 2-3 hours
Oxycodone: Oral ~60%(35-90%) intranasal- 47-79%(?)
Hydrocodone: Oral bioavailability is not really known but it is around oxycodone bioavailability; Orally 70% of it is usually absorbed, half-life is 4-8 hours
Oxymorphone: Intranasal 43%; Orals 10-20%; Rectal 10%
BUTORPHANOL : Oral 5-17%
Tramadol: Oral 68-72%; Rectal 77%: Eliminatio half-life 5-7 hours
Codeine: Oral 90%; Rectal 90%
Diphenoxylate: Protein binding 74-95%. Elimination half-life 12-14 hours
Pethidine(meperidine): Oral 50-60%. Protein Binding 65-75%, Half Life 3-5 hours
Normeperidine Is about half as potent as meperidine, but it has twice the CNS stimulation effects.
Pentazocine: Oral 20%. Half-life 2 to 3 hours

xymorphone: Intranasal 43%; Orals 10-20%; Rectal 10%(Rectal provides longer duration, though slower onset and plasma levels, as with some other opioids)
BUTORPHANOL : Oral 5-17%
Tramadol: Oral 68-72%; Rectal 77%: Eliminatio half-life 5-7 hours (Prodrug for Nortramadol, ~50x more potent at Mu receptor)
Codeine: Oral 90%; Rectal 90%
Diphenoxylate: Protein binding 74-95%. Elimination half-life 12-14 hours
Pethidine(meperidine): Oral 50-60%. Protein Binding 65-75%, Half Life 3-5 hours
Normeperidine Is about half as potent as meperidine, but it has twice the CNS stimulation effects.
Pentazocine: Oral 20%. Half-life 2 to 3 hours

Opiate Antagonists
Naloxone: Oral 2-4%. Elimination half-life 1-1.5 hours
Naltrexone Oral 5-40%. Protein binding 21%, Half life-4 hours (naltrexone),
and 13 hours (6-β-naltrexol) (metabolite)

Benzodiazepines
Alprazolam: Oral 80-90%. halflife 9-20 hours duration short/3-8hrs
Bromazepam: Oral 84% half life 10-20 hours
Cinolazepam: Oral 90-100%, Half life 9 hours
Clobazam: Oral 90%. Elimination half-life 18 hour half life
Clorazepate: Oral 91%. Elimination T1/2: Nordazepam ~20-150 hours (Prodrug for Nordazepam converted presystemically


hlordiazepoxide: Oral 100%; IM 90-95%. Elimination half-lives of its metabolites range from 14—100 hours
Clonazepam: Oral 90%; IM 93% intranasal (low) ~85 protein bound- Tmax 1-4hrs; Long acting Benzodiazepine, slow-intermediate onset
Diazepam: Oral 85-100%. Protein binding: 94% to 99% Tmax 1-2hrs P.O., Fast acting benzodiazepine, short- intermediate duration of action; Likely more effective with Chronic administration vs acute
Estazolam: Oral 93%. Elimination half-life 10-24 hours -Tribenzo
Lorazepam: Oral 85-90%; Intranasal 78%? Sublingual T1/2 10-20hrs, medium duration of action (longer than valium w/ acute dosing)

Midazolam: Oral 35-.40%; Intranasal 55%, IM 90%
Flurazepam: Oral 83%. Elimination half-life is 40-250 hours
Temazepam: Oral 96%. Elimination halflife is 8-20 hours
Quazepam: Oral 29-35% Half life 39 hours


Other GABA acting drugs/ analogs
Gabapentin (Neurontin): Oral: lower doses absorb better at 60% for .9g daily dosing; 27% for 4.8g daily dose. Food increases absorbtion by 14%. Protein binding 3%. Elimination Half life 5-7 hours
