You ha r to build up a therapeutic level. The medicine gets in you at such a level everytime you take it. But your body throws most of it out. So maybe you get like 15% that hangs out for a bit.

So every day you keep adding 15% mote until it’s built up in you.

That’s a rough generalization, but it’s how I explain on-boarding here.
