Dear HS !

I think you mixed up dose-linearity and dose-proportionality.

Dose-proportionality: doubling of the dose within this range leads to doubling of Cmax or AUC (e.g. Cawello, 2003; page 149).

Using the power-law model AUC = a × Doseb, dose-proportionality holds when b = 1 (straight line through origin) and dose-proportionality implies dose-linearity but not vice versa.

best regards

Martin
