Where to inject tirzepatide?

The approved labels for Mounjaro and Zepbound name three spots under the skin: the belly, thigh, or the back of the upper arm if someone else gives the shot. The amount that reached the blood was about the same at those spots. 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/tirzepatide.
