That holds for the injectable. The oral formulation has different absorption behaviour and the dose numbers are not interchangeable, which is worth saying out loud because people quote them as if they were.

Happy to go further on any of that.

Albumin binding above 99% is the whole reason weekly dosing works, and it is also why the trough matters more than the peak.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else.

I will push back on the "any working dose is fine" framing. The maintenance evidence sits overwhelmingly at the top studied dose, and the extension data shows regain tracking dose reduction rather than tracking stopping. Holding low is reasonable; pretending it is evidentially equivalent is not.

One concrete data point for the thread. Say what you would expect to see if you were wrong, before you look. It is a small discipline and it changes what you notice.

Moderator note: a couple of off-topic posts removed. Report rather than reply if it drifts again.
