Greetings NMusers,

Does nonmem have the capacity, unbeknownst to me, for modeling two simultaneous 
drugs?

I would like some suggestions about how to define the dataset and model for a 
subcutaneous drug and oral drug being administered on different schedules. I 
would use DVID = 1 and 2 for the two plasma pk observations.  I figure this 
soft of thing had to be dealt with in the past when trying to model dynamic 
DDIs (vs, just taking one of the drugs as a covariate on the other's 
parameters).

One approach is to specify the compartments for each to be dosed into then have 
those feed the central, but I'm curious to see if there is something more 
subtle in the nonmem syntax. Is there something about EVID, that I don't know 
that would help (beyond EVID=1 for dosing)

What if you had two oral drugs? Would you treat the two dosing compartments as 
separate and possibly link them together at the parameter/covariance level?

Thanks,
Chris
