GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are administered by subcutaneous injection—just under the skin—and are typically taken once or twice a week, depending on your personalized protocol.

Dosing Frequency:

• Standard Protocol: Once weekly injection.

• Personalized Protocol: Some plans call for bi-weekly dosing (twice per week) to help improve tolerance, manage appetite more evenly, or support more consistent blood sugar control.

Your provider will determine the best dosing frequency based on your goals, body response, and any side effects you may experience.

Injection Sites:

• Abdomen (avoid the area around your belly button).

• Upper thigh.

• Back of the upper arm.

Rotate sites each time to avoid irritation.

Titration Matters:

GLP-1 treatment typically begins with a low dose, which is gradually increased over time. This helps your body adjust and reduces the risk of side effects, such as nausea or bloating.

  Key Tips:

• Stick to the same days each week.

• Inject at any time—morning or evening, with or without food.

• Stay hydrated and eat smaller, balanced meals.

• Report any side effects to your provider for adjustment.
