They've proven that this dosing schedule and regimen will produce a certain effect. Now, that doesn't mean that prescribers have to use that exact dosing schedule and dose escalation.

They can use whatever dose that they think is most appropriate for that patient. So for example, if a beginning dose that only comes in one strength with the commercial product causes nausea and some of these other side effects that you mentioned. They're stuck. They're stuck.

That prescriber can utilize a compounding pharmacy where a patient can get that medication instead of using the pen, take it out of a multi-dose vial using a syringe just like they would insulin or testosterone or any other medication that comes in the vial.

And administering a lower dose so that the patient doesn't have to experience that side effect. And then dose escalating slower than what the patient would do using a commercial product. Now, that's just an example. That's not always the case.

Well, the FDA-indicated use recommends once a week injections. Just like it's similar for testosterone. Testosterone is recommended to be dosed once a week, but we see prescribers dosing it, breaking that up into smaller injections, doing biweekly injections or injection twice a week. It's all dependent on what the prescriber thinks is best for their patient.

A lot of these IV cocktails that these IV nutrition centers or mobile nurses are administering to patients, they are 100% bioavailable when infused. And some of these, you'd have to take tens of grams or hundreds of grams orally to be able to get an equivalent effect. And some of these, you can't take in those amounts.
