Titration
The practical ones: titration, half-life, washout, and what a missed dose does.
What is Titration?
Titration means stepping the dose up gradually so the side effects stay tolerable.
Tirzepatide's standard ladder moves every four weeks: 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg. Going slower blunts nausea. It also matters commercially, because a seller charging by dose gets more expensive every time you climb a rung, and a flat-price seller does not.
