What half-life means for Tesamorelin
Half-life is the time it takes for half the compound to be cleared from the body. Shorter half-lives (< 4h) usually require daily or multiple-daily dosing to maintain levels; longer half-lives (days) support once-weekly protocols.
For Tesamorelin, the characterised half-life is ~26 minutes. This directly informs the typical protocol of 1–2 mg subcutaneous daily.
