the UK plan: step therapy required 17 medications first. Did them all, got approval. The order matters.
comment on three years of pentadecapeptide threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/bpc157 · 6 points · 2 years ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points.
Adding to this: rodent data is doing more work than the comment implies.
