Step 5: Injection Site Preparation

Clean the injection site (typically abdomen or thigh) with a new alcohol swab.

Step 6: Injection Process

Pinch the cleaned skin at the injection site.

Hold the syringe at a 45-degree angle to the skin.

Insert the needle into the skin, pushing it all the way in.

Inject the Semaglutide slowly and steadily.

After injecting, hold the needle in place for a few seconds.

Withdraw the needle gently.

Step 7: Post-Injection

Clean the injection site again using a new alcohol swab.

Discard the used needle in a sharps container immediately (needles are for one-time use only).

Additional Tips:

Rotate injection sites to avoid discomfort or changes in skin.

Follow a consistent schedule for injections.

Keep track of injections on a calendar or in a diary.

Report any unusual reactions or concerns to your healthcare provider promptly.

Remember, this guide is a general overview. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized instructions and guidance regarding your Semaglutide administration.

Frequency of Semaglutide Injections

Administer semaglutide once a week, on the same day each week. You can give an injection at any time of the day, with or without meals.

The day of the weekly injection can be changed if necessary as long as the time between two doses is at least 48 hours.

Semaglutide Missed Dose

Don’t worry if you missed your semaglutide injection. Give yourself a shot as soon as possible within 5 days after the missed dose.

If more than 5 days have passed, it is recommended to skip the missed dose and administer the next semaglutide dose on the regularly scheduled day.

How to Store Semaglutide

Semaglutide is a thermolabile product. Once solved, it should be stored in a refrigerator to retain its properties. However, leaving semaglutide at room temperature for a while or exposure to moderate heat will not instantly make it useless.

Semaglutide keeps its purity for up to 4 weeks at room temperature. However, we highly recommend putting a vial in the refrigerator as soon as possible after you find it’s left at room temperature.
