So we have to understand how a medication or how the doses are recommended, right?

Medications go through clinical trials, clinical studies, where many doses are tried. Then we reach a therapeutic dose, which is a dose that exerts an effect. That's what we call therapeutic doses. That's what, when medication is approved, they come with therapeutic doses.

If we think about microdosing or using less amount of the actual therapeutic dose, well, we're not going to get the effects that the drug was designed for, right? Number one. Second, if you do need this medication and you have obesity, then you need the therapeutic doses, not the soup therapeutic doses. Now, the other thinking is, well, I don't need to lose weight.

I just want the positive effects of the medication. Well, if you don't need to lose weight, then if you are already in a healthy metabolic weight, then you don't need the, you're already getting the benefits, right? You're already, just by being fit, you have that. You don't need another medication.

And third, the problem with microdosing is that it's based on compounded medication. Oh. Currently, the FDA approved drug, they come pre-dose. So there's no an easy way to give yourself a lower dose. It's a single-use pen for most of them, pre-dose, so you cannot really play around with the dosing.

Now, when Eli Lilly came with the bile of the lowest dose, that may potentially have a use for patients that reach a healthy weight goal that don't require higher doses, that can maintain a weight with a small dose, then we can do a lower dose. But currently, we only have terceptide in a bile, right? Got it. Another reason of the microdosing was to avoid the side effects that people were having.

What are the big side effects? The problem with those side effects... were that they were initially created by people using compounded medication and that didn't have expertise on that. So their thinking was, well, maybe if you use less, you'll have less of the side effects. But that's not a problem of the actual drug of itself, right?
