That holds for the injectable. The oral formulation has different absorption behaviour and the dose numbers are not interchangeable, which is worth saying out loud because people quote them as if they were.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. Taking it to my next appointment.

I will push back on the "any working dose is fine" framing. The maintenance evidence sits overwhelmingly at the top studied dose, and the extension data shows regain tracking dose reduction rather than tracking stopping. Holding low is reasonable; pretending it is evidentially equivalent is not.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Worth knowing that eGFR estimates depend on creatinine, and creatinine depends on muscle mass. Losing muscle raises eGFR artificially, which flatters the number while the kidney is unchanged.
