Peptide Therapy Scheduling

Meaning

Peptide therapy scheduling is the clinical process of determining the optimal frequency, time of day, and duration for the administration of therapeutic peptides to maximize their biological efficacy and safety. Since peptides have short half-lives and their actions are often dependent on mimicking or modulating endogenous pulsatile hormone release, the timing of their injection is a critical parameter for therapeutic success. Inappropriate scheduling can lead to receptor desensitization or suboptimal clinical response.
