The code originally given mostly likely DOES HAVE IDENTIFIABILITY PROBLEMS (see caveat added). However, its intent was mainly didactic -> how to code a parent-metabolite. The details, of course, are dependent on the usual modeling constraints: does it reflect what we know about the drug?, is it "reasonable"?, does the data we have allow identification of defined parameters?, etc. Also, choice of ADVAN 6, 8 or 9 is, in the end, what works for your data and model.
