Pharmacokinetic simulator — Pro tool overview

PK simulator overview. Multi-week serum-concentration curves for semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide using one-compartment first-order absorption with FDA-label half-life and absorption constants. Pro tool. Educational, not medical advice.

Summary

Plot serum-concentration curves over a multi-week dosing schedule using FDA-label half-life and absorption constants.

What this tool does

Plots a multi-week serum-concentration curve for the chosen GLP-1 agonist given a dosing schedule. Renders a normalized percent-of-peak overlay so different compounds can be compared on the same axis.

How the math works

One-compartment first-order absorption + first-order elimination. Half-life and absorption constants are loaded from `pkConstants.ts` and trace back to the FDA label for each compound (Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, Victoza). Steady-state is reached at approximately 4-5 half-lives.

What the tool will not do

It does not personalize for renal function, hepatic function, drug interactions, or pregnancy. It does not infer a dosing schedule from outcomes. The curves are educational and do not constitute prescribing guidance.

Inputs the tool takes

  • Compound (semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide)
  • Dose per administration
  • Frequency (weekly or daily, per labeled schedule)
  • Number of weeks to simulate
  • Optional: a second compound for side-by-side overlay

What the tool returns

  • Multi-week serum-concentration curve
  • Normalized percent-of-peak overlay
  • Steady-state and time-to-steady-state estimates
