How to inject semaglutide at home

As a physician, I often explain to my patients in detail how to inject semaglutide at home in a safe and proper way.

First, with regard to the injection site, you can choose your upper arm, abdomen (at least 2 inches from your belly button), or thigh. To avoid skin irritation, I recommend that you change your injection site every week.

To prepare for your injections, you will need a vial, syringe or pen, and alcohol pads. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and then use the alcohol pads to clean the site of the injection.

The injection methods are slightly different for pens and syringes. If you are using a pen, simply remove the cap. Press the pen firmly against the skin and inject. If you are using a syringe, you will need to take the prescribed dose, gently pinch the skin, insert the needle at a 90-degree angle, and push down on the plunger.

Discard the needle in a sharps container. For bleeding, apply light pressure with alcohol cotton swabs.

The second point regarding dosage and schedule is to start with 0.25 mg in the first week and then gradually increase the dose. You should determine the time of injection, which can be done before or after eating, just make sure you inject on the same day of the week.

Caution: It is important to store your medication in the refrigerator.

Some patients may be concerned about pain, but there is really no need to worry. Subcutaneous injections usually cause minimal discomfort due to the small size of the needle.

Third, to achieve the best weight loss results, Simeglutide injections should be combined with a low-calorie, healthy diet and appropriate exercise.

It is my hope that my advice will help you to achieve weight loss and a healthy body as soon as possible.
