A drug administered to a patient usually is consumed by the first order process. Suppose that a drug is administered in equal amounts at regular intervals and that the interval between successive doses is equal to the half-life for the disappearance process (to the time that it takes for the fraction to be consumed). Prove that the maximum concentration of the drug in the patient's body is equal to times the concentration produced by an individual dose.
