title: A simple method for determining whether absorption and elimination rate constants are equal in the one-compartment open model with first-order processes.
abstract: A simple method is presented by which one may determine if the absorption and the elimination rate constants are equal (in the one-compartment body model) using only plasma drug data. This method suggests the pertinent equation to calculate the relevent pharmacokinetic parameters.
