Subcutaneous Injection Instructions
B12, Lipo-B, and Semaglutide
- Select your injection site
- Recommended areas with enough fat (subcutaneous tissue) are:
- outer surface of the upper arm
- top of thighs
- buttocks
- abdomen, except the navel or waistline
- ***Please note if you are thin do not use your abdomen as an injection site.
- It is important that you do not use the same site for injections each time. We advise that you stay in the same area but rate your injections at 1 ½ inches away from the last injection site.
- Select a site and cleanse the area (about 2 inches) with a the provided alcohol pad and wait until the site dries.
- Remove the needle cap.
- Pinch a 2-inch fold of skin between your thumb and index finger.
- Hold the syringe the way you would a pencil or dart. Insert the needle at a 45 to 90 degree angle to the pinched-up skin. The needle should be completely covered by skin. If you do this quickly, you will feel very little discomfort.
- Hold the syringe with one hand. With the other, pull back the plunger to check for blood. ***If you see blood in the solution in the syringe, do not inject. Withdraw the needle and start again at a new site.
- If you do not see blood, slowly push the plunger to inject the medication. Press the plunger all the way down.
- Remove the needle from the skin and gently hold an alcohol pad on the injection site. Do not rub this site.
- If there is bleeding, apply slight pressure and dress with a bandage.
- Immediately put the syringe and needle into your sharps disposal container.
