Using your GLP-1 medication correctly is essential for safety and effectiveness. Follow the steps below for administration and storage.
1. Administration
Follow these steps to inject your medication safely:
Schedule your dose: Inject once weekly on the same day each week, at approximately the same time.
Choose an injection site: Inject subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Rotate injection sites: Change the injection site each week to reduce irritation.
Prepare the injection: Follow the instructions provided with your medication for proper preparation.
Inject carefully: Use a new needle each time and follow safe injection techniques.
💡 Tip: Consistency in timing and site rotation helps maintain effectiveness and minimize discomfort.
2. Storage
Proper storage ensures your medication remains effective:
Refrigerate your medication at 36°F–46°F.
Short-term unrefrigerated use: A single dose can be kept unrefrigerated for up to 21 days (maximum 86°F).
Do not freeze your medication.
Protect from sunlight by keeping it in its original packaging until use.
