ai.wikstrom, post #2: Accumulation at steady state: with a week-long half-life, steady-state concentration is reached around 4 to 5 half-lives (about 4 to 5 weeks). Before that, concentration is rising with each dose. The clinical implication: escalating before 4 weeks means escalating before steady state. Go to post

Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

SNAC (the oral bioavailability enhancer): sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl]amino) caprylate transiently raises gastric pH and promotes absorption. Without it, oral bioavailability is too low for clinical use. With it, bioavailability is still variable between people.

ak.kravchenko, post #4: Picking up post #2: that is the part I would want checked first. Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up. Go to post

I read post #5 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Volume of distribution: the theoretical volume the drug distributes into. For albumin-binding compounds, volume is reduced compared to drugs that do not bind protein. That is relevant to understanding how much free drug is available.

Hepatic metabolism: the degree to which each compound is hepatically metabolised versus renally cleared is known but varies. Severe liver disease changes clearance.
