A simulation like https://www.boomer.org/c/p4/js/w200101/index1.php
For example use Dose = 500, V1 = 25, Vm = 200 and Km = 5, Max X = 148 and 
semi-log. Compare with Vm = 160 and Km = 4. Same terminal slope, t(1/2) 
approximately 10 hr.

BTW, NCA isn’t very good for non linear PK. Not sure that PopPK helps much. The 
low concentration k and this t(1/2) could be estimated from Vm and Km but not 
much help at higher concentrations.

Some equations on https://www.boomer.org/c/p4/c21/c2103.php especially 21.3.3, 
21.3.4 and 21.3.5.

For a ’simple’ iv bolus simulation you need Dose, V1, Vm, and Km estimates. 
Distribution parameters for multi-compartment. Absorption parameters for oral.

David Bourne

PS, I have a vague memory of a patient with phenytoin concentration dropping 
from 25 to 24 mg/L over 24 hours. Low concentration t(1/2) might be 12 hr. TDM 
anyone ;-)
