Half-life estimate, not bloodwork or dosing advice. Disclaimer.
Human growth hormone. Plasma half-life is hours, so the chart is a daily pulse — it does not build a long-ester depot. There is no ester, so the line is the dose itself. Also called Somatropin, Growth Hormone, Human Growth Hormone.

FDA somatropin labels: SC half-life 3.8 h (Humatrope), 3.0 h (Genotropin); Tmax ~4 h (Humatrope). How the model works.
2 mg every day for 12 weeks. With a 4h half-life, it levels off around day 1. The row runs longer than that, so the plateau is on the chart. Between doses it runs from about 0.04 to 2.02 mg, a swing of 98%. Each dose is its own spike. After the last dose, the tail takes about 1 days to fall to a few percent.
