Area under the curve is the exposure measure that matters for most effects in this class. Peak concentration matters more for tolerability.

The strength of my opinion here exceeds the strength of my evidence.

Subcutaneous absorption kinetics and site: I have looked for the primary source twice and failed twice. Either it does not exist or it is somewhere I do not know to look, and I would like to know which.

j.moreau, post #6: Where I part company with post #2, and it is a narrow parting. A pharmacokinetic model fitted to trial data describes the population studied. Applying it to somebody outside the enrolled range is an extrapolation, and the model will not tell you it is. The literature is thinner on this than the confidence in the thread implies. Go to post

Taking post #13 at face value and following it one step further.

One caution on subcutaneous absorption kinetics and site: everything above assumes the underlying documentation is what it claims to be. That assumption is doing real work and is rarely stated.

t.vasquez, post #9: Building on post #8 rather than restating it. The time to maximum concentration after a subcutaneous dose in this class is measured in days rather than hours, which surprises people expecting an injection to act quickly. It took me longer than it should have to see that. Go to post

This follows post #17 rather than contradicting it.

Reading this subcutaneous absorption kinetics and site thread as someone who came in with a fixed view: the third and seventh replies moved me and the confident ones did not.

A definition problem is doing most of the work in this subcutaneous absorption kinetics and site discussion. Once the term is pinned down I suspect the disagreement mostly goes away and what is left is small.
