taper_file, post #1: Asking directly, because I could not find a straight answer: Why the titration planner refuses to produce a schedule below a floor Titration planner refuses — I have the observation and I do not trust my interpretation of it, so I am posting the observation and holding the interpretation back. Numbers, method and the conditions under… Go to post

Post #2 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Marking my uncertainty on titration planner refuses explicitly. I am confident about the direction, much less confident about the size, and not confident at all that it generalises past the case in the first post.

PharmNotes_Whitfield, post #7: Mass error checking: enter your observed mass and theoretical mass and check whether the difference in ppm is within reasonable bounds for your instrument. Useful sanity check on LC-MS results. Adding it in case it saves somebody the afternoon it cost me. Go to post

Adding the measurement that post #6 says would settle it.

I would put moderate confidence on the mainstream reading of titration planner refuses and no more. That is not scepticism for its own sake; it is where the sourcing actually stops.

I have no financial interest in anything named in this thread and I want to say so before I comment on titration planner refuses, because it is the sort of subject where it matters.

Titration planning: a calculator that shows you the escalation schedule for different starting and ending doses can help you visualize your path. Actual path might be slower or adjusted for tolerability.

It is a small point and it changes the answer, which is an awkward combination.

Reading this titration planner refuses thread as someone who came in with a fixed view: the third and seventh replies moved me and the confident ones did not.

Post #44 put the caveat in the right place and I want to underline it.

A note on how titration planner refuses gets discussed rather than on titration planner refuses itself: the confident posts get the replies and the careful ones get ignored, and the careful ones have been right more often.

JFitzgibbon, post #29: Narrowing post #28, because the general version has more than one answer. Significant figures in the output should not exceed what the inputs support. A concentration calculated from a nominal vial mass is not known to four decimal places. Scoping that to what I have actually seen rather than what I have read. Go to post

Two things can be true about titration planner refuses at once: the mechanism is plausible and the evidence for the size of the effect is thin. Most of the argument here is people defending the first against attacks on the second.

Titration planner refuses is one of those subjects where the general answer and the answer for a specific case diverge, and the thread will go in circles until someone says which one is being asked for.

n.abernathy, post #5: Picking up post #2: that is the part I would want checked first. My experience of titration planner refuses contradicts the reply above. I am posting it as a data point rather than as a refutation, because one person's experience is exactly that. Go to post

Good question, well framed, and I would like to see it answered properly.
