- Body and drug basics — What a peptide is, how a compound acts, where in the body things happen, and what happens to a compound once it is in. No biology background assumed.
- Handling and measurement — The physical vocabulary: syringes, units, reconstitution, vials and storage. What the equipment is and what the markings mean.
- Dosing and scheduling — The shape of a programme: doses, titration, cycles, stacks and timing. Defines the words, never a schedule.
Most looked up: syringe · reconstitution · dose · titration · stack · cycle · half-life · peptide.
