Semaglutide, a medication commonly prescribed for weight management and type 2 diabetes, is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. If you’ve been prescribed semaglutide, it’s essential to know how to properly administer the injection to ensure both safety and effectiveness. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to give yourself a semaglutide injection.
Before beginning, gather the following items:
Semaglutide vial or pre-filled syringe
Alcohol swabs
Cotton ball or gauze pad
A clean surface
Sharps disposal container
Start by washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection.
If you have a vial of semaglutide, use a clean syringe to draw the prescribed dose. If you have a pre-filled syringe, skip this step, but double-check the dosage to ensure it matches your prescription.
Semaglutide is injected into the fatty tissue of your abdomen or thigh. Rotate your injection sites to avoid irritation or discomfort. Clean the area with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry to prevent stinging during the injection.
Pinch the skin at the chosen injection site, holding it firmly. Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle, and slowly push the plunger to inject the medication. Continue to hold the needle in place for a few seconds to ensure the full dose is administered.
After removing the needle, apply gentle pressure with a cotton ball or gauze pad to the injection site. Dispose of the used needle and syringe in a proper sharps container—never in the trash.
If you have any remaining semaglutide, store it in the refrigerator according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
By following these simple steps, you can safely administer your semaglutide injection. If you ever have concerns or experience side effects, don’t hesitate to consult your healthcare provider for advice.
