Where to inject semaglutide?

The approved labels for Ozempic and Wegovy shots name three spots under the skin: the belly, thigh, or upper arm. The amount that reached the blood was about the same at each. Rotate spots. The label of a prescribed product comes before general advice. This is a list of spots from those labels, not a dose, a frequency, or a protocol. How to inject, rotate spots, and stay safe is at /injecting. Profile at /compounds/semaglutide.
