Oral Dose Not Exhibiting Absorption/Bioavailability in Simulation

Hello! I am trying to use this model "Estimating the Bioavailibility of a Drug" that I found here, to do a simultaneous fitting of my IV infusion and P.O. blood concentration time profile. I implemented a two compartment model as well. For some reason, when I am running a simulation the oral dose exhibits a bioavailbility of >= 1, even though I have the parameter F set as 0.2. I attached images of my simulation curve (green is oral dose), model diagram, ODEs, and dosing setup. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the way I set up the dosing, but please let me know if you have any advice on how I should troubleshoot this. I am using R2024a. Please let me know if I should include anything else. Thanks!

Excellent. I'm just going to copy that into the answers section, so that it's clear this question has been answered.

Copying the answer from the comments: "Just wanted to update that I figured out a solution to the problem! I ended up creating a new species called Drug_Infusion in the Blood compartment and assigning the Infusion dose to that species. Then i used the Drug_Central in the Blood compartment for simulation of the oral dose, and Drug_infusion for the simulation of the Infusion dose. It ended up solving the issue I was having with the starting value of the oral dose being 4.5x10^5! Thanks a lot for your help."
