Zero order kinetics is where the plasma concentration of a drug decreases at a constant rate. A graph of this will show a linear relationship between time from peak concentration and plasma concentration. The situation may be contrasted with First order kinetics and Second order kinetics.

This suggests the process removing the drug is saturated under ordinary conditions.
