Injecting Your Semaglutide: Patient Tutorial

A tutorial on how to inject your Semaglutide.

[@BeachWalker-lt8mh]

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.

[@meradethherrera6936]

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.

[@kimberlymarai3497]

Thank you!!! You are a God send.

[@tracylevy3189]

How do you change the needle? I find mine is blunt after extracting it from the vial

[@ryangraham71]

standing here with a needle in my hand trying ti figure out how to do this lol

[@cynthiahelms6234]

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

[@AfNunes-d6k]

Hey. I have the sane question. You already have the answer ?

[@madisonriley4420]

I also need this awnsered 😢

[@camdior5667]

It’s between 2 and 3 halfway

[@BeachWalker-lt8mh]

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.

[@kristinlee2072]

You can see she took in more and pushed it out

[@CNelson-t7p]

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

[@OctoberGirl1971]

The entire needle

[@morenadaza1204]

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

[@erinwickware8066]

I just did it. The needle is so tiny just feels like a pinch or almost like when you haven’t worn earrings in a while

[@2luvmyboyz]

I just did my first one last night. Didn’t hurt. But I think the liquid leak out a bit. My doctors office told me to count to 10 before removing the needle so I did but I think it’s still happened. I just wiped it off and wash my hands. That’s why I’m watching these videos now to see what I did wrong. Good luck hope it’s going well for you.

[@PTstuimproveshimself]

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?

[@mtz3616]

I inject in my stomach, and I become so sick I vomit what I ate the day before my injection

[@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.

[@charlesthevoice1064]

hopefully now its been 5 months since you posted this and your nerves are steady. :) How much have you lost?

[@breatheinbreatheout4363]

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

[@ojd88]

A cooler with ice or ice pack

[@gracemarrufo4633]

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

[@jayceontyler4319]

Do you feel like the potency of the medicine is the same??

[@joymiehe]

What does look like 071 look in shringe

[@garyjarvis8354]

Appreciate the video.

[@BabsW-k7b]

No example of insuring no air in vial?

[@DW...]

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

[@OctoberGirl1971]

Freezer makes it last longer

[@adamincov]

@@OctoberGirl1971 literally everywhere online says don't freeze

[@OctoberGirl1971]

@@adamincov literally on my prescription bag from my pharmacy and told via my doctor. You are to freeze it until you use

[@Chris-no6mc]

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

[@morenadaza1204]

Answer! Please! We want to know!

[@lisastrickland9365]

no it doesn't hurt burns a little@@morenadaza1204

[@lisastrickland9365]

No, it doesn't hurt.

[@mtz3616]

When I first started, it didn't hurt. I barely felt it, but now it does sting, I think cause I have less fat around my stomach

[@tranell2056]

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

[@Sheree2342]

I was told that if it’s cold (straight out of the fridge) it burns. If you let it get a little room temperature it doesn’t burn. I take mine out before I take my shower and inject after and it takes the stinging out when injected.

[@aliolivi]

Make sure it's room temp and make sure to wait 15 seconds for alcohol to dry, otherwise it will sting

[@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...

[@adamglav]

Are you happy with your TRT results?

[@leewillus]

@@adamglav honestly, yes. With my solid background of dieting and training. I'm 200lbs and look like a gladiator as most would say ,😅 but I believe my good genetics play a massive role

[@markiapatrice3427]

How much is 0.25mg on insulin syringe

[@suhailh]

I believe 10 units- the amount she injected.

[@tauschajohanson26]

That honestly depends on the concentration of the semaglutide in your vial and that depends on which pharmacy compounded it. But the "usual" starting dose of 10units should contain 0.25mg of semaglutide.

[@devibutterfly4]

​@@tauschajohanson26crap I just took 25 units

[@pammy35]

@@tauschajohanson26so for Ozempic the actual brand Ozempic would 0.25 being the first month dose be 10 units?

[@jenni2836]

Thank you

[@tyekajada]

How much is 0.25 using diabetic syringes

[@Yakalot2024]

In the refrigerator or the freezer after they are prepped

[@christiananthony2026]

Refrigerator, I don’t know why she said freezer, do not freeze these put them in the refrigerator

[@ginaserrano1448]

Can you tell me what 0.25 mg on ml syringe

[@A15BeanSoup]

Do you insert quickly or slowly?

[@morenadaza1204]

I think if you do it slowly is painfully than quick.

[@blessed9321]

Can you show the thigh area I heard less nausea that way and that’s what I want to try

[@ssa7692]

You shouldn't put it in the freezer btw I hope you meant refrigerator

[@constantreader7944]

I think you should correct this otherwise helpful video: My Dr and pharmacist told me to fill up one syringe per week. I don’t think it’s a good idea to fill up and freeze anything. Just take the bottle of drug, wipe the top, and fill a syringe, then return it to the fridge for the next week’s dose and repeat. Only one injection per needle, then toss. Repeated use of a hypodermic needle is how people get infections.

[@tinaj163]

It is very unprofessional for nurse to have all those visible tattoos on your body!!! Im sure Florence Nightingale is turning over in her grave. These are they of nursing centering the work force.

[@ojd88]

What are you on about
