The model uses a first-order elimination curve. Each dose adds a new contribution, and the total concentration decays over time with the selected half-life.
The formula used is C(t) = Dose × e(-kt), where k = ln(2) / half-life. This creates realistic accumulation and steady-state behavior for repeated dosing.
A helpful educational projection
Weight-loss projections are illustrative and depend on nutrition, activity, adherence and individual response. The graph above is intended for learning, not medical or dosing decisions.
Medication comparison
Compare semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide for accumulation shape and half-life.
Offset days
Use this to simulate missed doses and see how the curve changes next week.
Decision support
The chart helps users understand exposure over time without replacing medical advice.

Half-life
The half-life describes how quickly the drug concentration falls after each dose. A shorter half-life usually produces more visible swings between doses.
Steady state
Repeated dosing raises the average concentration until the body removes the same amount it receives. That is the plateau visualized in the line chart.
Accumulation
Accumulation happens when new doses arrive before the older dose has fully disappeared. The chart captures this pattern for weekly and daily schedules.

The simulation uses a first-order elimination model. Each dose contributes a new exponential curve and the total concentration is the sum of all the remaining contributions.
The formula is C(t) = Dose × e(-kt) where k = ln(2) / half-life. That makes repeated dosing create accumulation and an eventual plateau.
Half-life, steady state, offset days and missed injections all shape the curve you see. The chart is best used to understand patterns rather than make treatment decisions.
Weight loss projections are illustrative only. Results depend on nutrition, activity, adherence and individual response.
