Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?

Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.

what is titration — it means going slow on the escalation

Adding to this: week one is doing more work than the comment implies.

Asked 13 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

REDEFINE which arm?

regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 9–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

pens versus vials, same molecule, different price

tendon and cagrilintide literature in rodents is interesting

no question too basic, read the wiki first, then ask anyway

no dose recommendations for individuals, even here

What does the wiki say?

API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy

link the wiki instead of retyping, but politely
