Do all medications have a peak action?

For example, long-acting insulin. Is its lifetime actually a peak action?

Good evening,
No, some drugs are manufactured in such a way that no "peak" can be identified. This is the case with very long-acting insulins, among others. The presence of a peak action in a case like this could induce a greater risk of hypoglycemia in patients.
Life span is something else entirely and is related to how quickly the body will be able to eliminate medication.
Tell me,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
