Tirzepatide is an injectable medication used to manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss. If you’ve been prescribed this treatment, understanding how to properly administer the injection is important for its effectiveness and your safety. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started.
Tirzepatide is administered once a week through a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection. The medication helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduce appetite by mimicking natural hormones in the body. You’ll typically inject it into your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Before you begin, make sure you have your Tirzepatide medication, alcohol swabs, and a sharps container for needle disposal. Wash your hands thoroughly to ensure cleanliness.
Take the medication out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for a few minutes—cold injections can be uncomfortable. If you’re using a vial or syringe, draw the prescribed dose of Tirzepatide. If you’re using a multi-dose vial, make sure to follow the instructions for proper dosing.
Select a site on your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Clean the area with an alcohol swab and let it dry. Hold the syringe or pen like a pencil and insert the needle at a 90-degree angle to the skin.
Press the plunger firmly to inject the medication. Hold the syringe in place for 5-10 seconds to ensure the full dose is delivered.
After removing the needle, dispose of it in a sharps container immediately.
With some practice, administering Tirzepatide will become part of your routine. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for the best results.
