See, it's about the drug's half-life and how steady we need its level in the body. Twice-a-day ones clear out faster, while once-a-week ones stick around. A loading dose is just a bigger first punch to reach that effective level quickly, instead of waiting for small doses to build up.
I was revising this last night, trying to draw those concentration-time curves on my chart paper, while the smell of *dahi bara* from the stall downstairs mixed with my textbook ink. Theory feels simple, but I keep thinking—for my father, his blood pressure pill is once a day, but his antibiotics were twice. His worried face when he mixes it up makes me memorise it harder.
