After a single IV bolus dose drug concentrations appear with an exponential decline on linear graph paper and a straight line on semi-log graph paper. With an IV infusion of duration T there is a steady increase to CpT followed by an abrupt exponential decline in concentration. After a single oral administration the are around the peak concentration is smoother.
