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
