A schedule has more than one number
Read the dose, frequency, route, formulation and duration together. A weekly total is not necessarily the amount given at each administration. A blended total is not the mass of each ingredient.
Follow the actual study period
A table may use days, weeks, repeated cycles or an open-ended continuation. “Week 13+” describes an ongoing phase; it does not supply an end date. A study’s follow-up period may also differ from its dosing period.
Pep Science preserves the periods stated in the source tables. If a source gives a different duration elsewhere, read that context before making a comparison. Source-derived schedules are not independently validated treatment plans.
Separate vial size from dose
Selecting a different vial changes the available mass. Depending on the preparation, it may also change concentration and draw volume. It does not automatically change the amount used in a study.
Calculate phased totals carefully
For a finite phase, multiply weeks by administrations per week and mass per administration. Add the mass across phases, then divide by vial content and round the vial count upward. This gives a theoretical quantity before handling losses and storage limits.
