The translation cost of dealing with a foreign pharmacy was the thing I had not budgeted for.

Independent purity results for this compound are very sparse across the whole site, which means any impression about consistency is built on almost nothing.

Weekly dosing again, half-life in the same neighbourhood as sema, so a step change takes about a month to reach steady state. Judging a new step at day five is judging noise.

The four-week interval in the label is a minimum. Nothing about the pharmacology requires you to step on schedule, and the trials stepped on a calendar because trials have to.

Correction: that is a known effect of reduced intake rather than a direct drug effect. The distinction matters because the fix is different.

Pen or vial? The step sizes available differ and it changes this answer.

injection-site soreness for the first eight days after each step, then nothing, every single time.

halima_mbeki is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.

Disagree with the conversion table. There is no validated equivalence between the two molecules and posting one as though there is does real damage.
