Dear Helmut!

How old?

As far as I know your model is correct for any renally cleared drug (regardless how many compartments are 'upstream' of the excretion process). But you can't linearize this function?! You do need some nonlinear fitting software. Comes close to 'compartmental models are not acceptable'.
Maybe that's the reason behind Far Side's method - ready to be checked by the assessor's pocket calculator.

Not a very crowed place yet. :cool:

Most scientists today are devoid of ideas, full of fear, intent on
producing some paltry result so that they can add to the flood
of inane papers that now constitutes “scientific progress”
in many areas.    Paul Feyerabend
