Single input, single output experiments can result in nonunique solutions for the rate constants of a linear compartmental model used to describe the pharmacokinetics. Where a finite number of solutions exists, a priori knowledge has to be used to distinguish between the solutions. Where there is an infinite number of solutions, assumptions have to be made about the values of some rate constants in order to obtain a unique solution for the others. Such experiments are considered and whether the addition of an extra input (simultaneously with the 1st input) or the taking of an extra measurement would result in a unique solution was determined. Perturbing a 2nd input apparently can be useful, but only if the perturbation is of different shape from the 1st input. Measurements of drug in urine and metabolite in plasma are generally not helpful in resolving identifiability of the drug dynamic model. If a radioactive tracer is used, the 2nd measurement (e.g., by externally scanning the radioactivity of the liver) can prove useful, but only if the gain of the measuring device is known.
