How do you do a semaglutide injection?

This site does not give a protocol. The approved labels for the shots name the spots (belly, thigh, or upper arm) and tell you to rotate them. The hands-on steps that apply to any shot under the skin, like needle length, letting the alcohol dry, one needle for one use, and getting rid of used needles safely, are at /injecting. Nothing there is a dose or a frequency. A prescribed product's own Instructions for Use come before this page. Profile at /compounds/semaglutide.

Part of injecting: sites, needles and safety. Subcutaneous vs intramuscular, site rotation, lipohypertrophy, needle length and gauge, vial hygiene at injection time, travel syringes, scar tissue, and when to stop and see a clinician. Full walkthrough at /injecting.
