How the Injection Works

GLP-1 injections are given subcutaneously — just under the skin — typically once a week. Common injection sites include the abdomen, the front of the thigh, and the back of the upper arm. Your written instructions walk through the technique step by step.

Titration First

Clinicians start most patients at a low dose and increase it slowly over time. That’s not caution for its own sake — how your body tolerates a given dose matters just as much as the dose itself, and a gradual schedule gives your clinician a chance to see how you’re responding before moving higher.

What’s Included

Each shipment includes your medication vial, the supplies needed to administer it, guidance on disposing of sharps safely, and written instructions to keep on hand. If a step is unclear, our nurse support team is available to walk through it with you.

Safety Basics

A few habits go a long way: store your medication exactly as instructed, rotate injection sites rather than using the same spot each time, and let your care team know promptly if you notice a side effect. Your clinician would rather hear from you early than after a small issue becomes a bigger one.
