A drug is infused intravenously (IV) for treatment of a particular disease. The infusion rate of the drug is k0 = 200 mg/hr. The volume of the body fluid V = 16 liters. The drug is excreted (removed) through the kidneys at rate ke = 0.3/hr, proportional to the concentration of the drug in the body fluids. How much is the maximum concentration of the drug in the body in the steady state in mg/l?
