API: Charity.

You are a different kind of medication, Charity.

A prodrug, you get activated when patient compliance to your regimen is optimum.

You maintain a steady state concentration, not waning in the face of disease.

You are potent even in small doses, yet incapable of toxicity at higher doses.

You have an amazingly wide therapeutic window, enduring all things.

You have affinity for all receptors, whether they be the target site or not. You potentiate their activities, showing no segregation.

Your half life is zero time-you cease to diminish.

Yet your structure-activity relationship baffles us, even us, the drug experts.

How can you be patient and kind in the face of inactivators and antagonists?

How can you not be easily angered when attacked on all sides by significant interactions?

You are a different kind of medication, Charity.

You are Divine.
