Preparation & administration
Washout
A drug-free interval long enough for a compound to clear the body before something else begins.
In plain terms
Washout length is set by half-life: roughly four to five half-lives to clear the great majority of a drug. For a weekly agent, a meaningful washout is measured in weeks, not days.
