How much MGF remains over time
For a single dose with first-order elimination, half of what remains is cleared every 6 min.
| Half-lives | Time after dose | Remaining | Eliminated |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 min | 50% | 50% |
| 2 | 12 min | 25% | 75% |
| 3 | 18 min | 12.5% | 87.5% |
| 4 | 24 min | 6.25% | 93.75% |

MGF FAQ
What is the half-life of MGF?
MGF has an elimination half-life of about 6 min (IM). No human PK; thought to persist only minutes in circulation.
How long does MGF stay in your system?
With first-order elimination, about 97% of a single dose is cleared after five half-lives, roughly 30 min for MGF. Individual clearance varies with dose, injection site, kidney function and other factors.
How long until MGF reaches steady state?
With consistent repeated dosing, levels approach steady state after about 4 to 5 half-lives, or roughly 24 min to 30 min for MGF.
How reliable is this MGF half-life?
Evidence level: Anecdotal. No published pharmacokinetic data; this is a community estimate and may be far off.
