A missed dose, modelled: what happens to liraglutide concentrations over the following fortnight
Half-life, accumulation ratio and time to steady state are three separate quantities, and confusing them produces most of the bad advice in circulation.
Not everybody regains at the same rate, and nobody knows why
Regain begins immediately, proceeds at a decelerating rate, and does not usually return to baseline within the observed follow-up. Each of those three clauses matters.

A schedule that bends does not break
Nausea and gastric delay attenuate over weeks at an unchanged dose. That single physiological fact is the entire justification for holding.
