First injection nerves are completely normal — and it's easier than you think. Your patient portal includes step-by-step injection instructions, including a video walkthrough you can follow along with.
The basics:
Wash your hands and gather your vial, syringe, and an alcohol swab.
Draw up the exact dose your clinician prescribed — no more, no less.
Inject subcutaneously (just under the skin) in your stomach or thigh, rotating sites each week.
Dispose of the needle safely in a sharps container or a sturdy, sealed plastic container.
Want a live walkthrough? Book an appointment with your clinician in your patient portal — they'll happily guide you through your first injection.
Never adjust your dose on your own. If you have questions about how much to take, ask your clinician before injecting.
