How do I inject Personalized Semaglutide each week?
Short answer
Inject Personalized Semaglutide under the skin once weekly, exactly as your prescribing physician and pharmacy label direct. Ask for training before your first injection. Use the prescribed syringe and amount, rotate injection sites, and use a new needle and syringe each time. Never share injection supplies.
Use Personalized Semaglutide only as your prescribing physician and pharmacy label direct. It is given under the skin once weekly, not into a muscle or vein. Before your first dose, ask the pharmacist to explain the supplies, dose markings, and injection steps. Do not inject if you are unsure how much to use.
Wash your hands and prepare a clean work area. Check the medication name, concentration, label instructions, and beyond-use date. Use a new sterile needle and syringe for each injection. Follow the pharmacy's directions for cleaning the vial and skin. Common injection areas include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites and avoid skin that is sore, bruised, or damaged.
Place used needles and syringes in a sharps container right away. Never share your vial or supplies. If you spill medication or are unsure whether you received the full dose, do not inject extra without advice. Contact your physician or pharmacist for guidance before taking more.
