What You’ll Receive

At the start of our program, you’ll receive two separate shipments. The first will contain your semaglutide medication in a vial, and the other box will contain:

Four syringes
Alcohol wipes for sterilization
A sharps container for safe disposal
An insulated travel case to keep everything secure on the go

How To Administer Medication

1. Start by washing your hands thoroughly. Make sure you have a clean and flat surface to work on. Clean the area where you'll inject with an alcohol wipe.

2. Before proceeding, check the medication label to ensure you have the correct medication and that it has not expired.

3. Remove the cap from the medication vial and use an alcohol swab to clean the rubber stopper on top.

4. To prepare the syringe, first draw an amount of air equal to the dose you will be injecting. This helps in drawing the medication.

5. Insert the needle into the vial. Push the air you drew into the syringe into the vial.

6. This helps prevent a vacuum from forming. Turn the vial upside down and draw the prescribed amount of medication into the syringe.

7. At the injection site, gently pinch the skin to create a firm area. Insert the needle and slowly press the plunger to inject the medication.

8. Withdraw the needle gently and safely discard the used needle and syringe into the sharps container.

Manage Semaglutide Side Effects With Ease

The most common side effects of Semaglutide include the following:

Nausea
Diarrhea
Stomach (abdominal) pain
Vomiting
Constipation

We suggest the following to help alleviate those side effects:

Medications such as Zofran and B12 shots can help with nausea, so ask your provider how we can help get you these medications
Eat bland, low-fat foods such as crackers, toast, and rice
Eat foods that contain water, like soups and gelatin
Avoid fried, greasy, or sweet foods
Avoid lying down after you eat
Go outdoors for fresh air
Eat more slowly
Eat smaller meals
Drink clear or ice-cold drinks
Increase water intake and try Miralax Daily or sugar-free prune juice to prevent constipation, but note that these can take a few days to work
For faster relief, try milk of magnesia or a suppository
For diarrhea, try Pepto-Bismol or Imodium
