Injecting Your Semaglutide: Patient Tutorial

A tutorial on how to inject your Semaglutide.

[meradethherrera]

I work in a clinic that gives Semaglutide injections. We were taught to inject below the navel to avoid nausea. And not prefill your syringes. Also to change the needle after filling, filling will dull the needle and it will hurt slightly more.

Just called my pharmasist about something I saw in this video. In the video, person is prefilling the needles to be used later. Pharmacist I talked to said this is not ok because when it leaves the vile, there's risk of exposure to air and can cause problems if you leave the needle out.

Good video..I just started semaglutide injections.

Can you show how much is 0.25 on a 10 ml syringe?

[BeachWalker-ltmh]

just from watching other videos, i think a step was missed. I think you are suppose to pull the needle with the amount of dosage first before putting in the vile. Then inject the air in the vile, then pull the medicine. This gives the vile the air pressure it will lose.

Did it like a champ! Thanks for shraing. Does the Needle need to be inside the body for 2 seconds after injecting, or is it just a myth?

[DW...]

I was told keep the full syringes in the frig😮 Should I put them in the freezer?

[CNelson-tp]

How much of the needle needs to go into the skin? Thanks!

I heard if you inject in your thigh you can potentially become nauseous but if in another area like your leg, you can avoid that. Is that something you have heard?

Does it hurt? I’ve watch videos and nobody make faces or feel nervous or doubt about it! They just go straight and pinch!

[bordendonna]

What are the injection instructions about the air in the syringe?? You totally skipped that part that is on the written pamphlet

[tranell]

When I’m injecting myself, is there a reason why is burns, when the medication is going through?

[DiaryOfAMadPoptart]

👀👀👀👀You said throw some extras in the freezer. I thought you’re not suppose to freeze the medication at any point?

[Chris-nomc]

does the shot hurt? I have never had a shot in the stomach

[breatheinbreatheout]

If semaglutide has to be kept refrigerated, then how does one travel with it?

[leewillus]

30 here, been on trt for almost 10 years now... I've never tried the cough but have been doing the other 2 as well as shaving the area and making sure I'm not going into a follicle or a blatant previous pin scar...

[BabsW-kb]

No example of insuring no air in vial?

[gracemarrufo]

Mine come in 4 syringes, prepped and I freeze them, take one out 30 mins before I inject. I use my thigh so I don't get too sick by injecting in the stomach. That was the suggestion my pharmacist told me

[cindytrimblr]

What do you do when your hands are shaking?? I just did my first injection and was so nervous my hands were shaking the whole time. I got it done but the shakey made it harder. Hopefully it gets easier each week, I've never done home injections before except when taking my blood sugar but that was a button so it was easy.
