That is right, and it stops being right at the edges. The general case is well behaved; the interesting cases in this thread are all at the boundary where the general case breaks.

Correct me if the detail matters more than I have assumed.

That is right for the weekly injectables.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

I read this differently from MASHdoc_SA, on substance rather than tone. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. One habit that pays for itself: post the method alongside the number. A figure without its method cannot be checked, and an unchecked figure is how this community accumulates folklore.

Moderator note: leaving this open. It is being argued well and the disagreement is the useful part.
