There aren't many with zero-order pharmacokinetics (linear curve decay). The only notable exception is alcohol though.

Interesting, for a second I thought that had to be wrong because I was aware of aspirin and alcohol, but apparently they are the two common ones and the vast majority are a bit more complex, which also makes sense if you think about it logically I suppose.

It looks like in addition to those, others with zero-order pharmacokinetics include salicylates (salts of salicylic acid incl. aspirin), omeprazole (for indigestion), fluoxetine (antidepressant), phenytoin (for epilepsy), methanol (a poisonous alcohol) and cisplatin (chemo medication.)
