- Standard Loading
- 2.5mg twice weekly
- 4 weeks
- Acute tendon/ligament injury
- Balanced approach for most soft tissue injuries. Adequate plasma levels without overshooting receptor saturation
- Aggressive Loading
- 5mg twice weekly
- Severe chronic tendinopathy
- Higher cost with marginal additional benefit. Reserve for injuries unresponsive to standard dosing
- Maintenance Only
- 2mg once weekly
- 2–4 weeks
- Post-acute repair support
- Appropriate only after loading phase completion. Insufficient as standalone protocol
- Extended Low-Dose
- 2mg twice weekly
- 8–12 weeks
