How to Inject Yourself
Protocol Explanation
When semaglutide is used for Chronic Weight Management, the dosing follows the recommendations specified for the Wegovy brand. The treatment starts with a dose of 0.25 mg once a week, maintained for the first four weeks. The dosage is then gradually increased over subsequent weeks: 0.50 mg weekly during weeks 5-8, 1 mg weekly during weeks 9-12, 1.7 mg weekly during weeks 13-16, and eventually reaching 2.4 mg weekly from week 17 onwards. Similar to the T2D treatment protocol, missed doses should be administered within 5 days of the scheduled date. If a patient is unable to tolerate a minimum weekly dose of 1.7 mg, discontinuing the treatment is recommended.
Side Effects
First and foremost, it's important to stay calm. An amino acid isn't something that poses a lethal risk. However, it's true that some individuals may experience side effects. The key is to assess whether these side effects are manageable for you or if they necessitate discontinuing the treatment. Common side effects include nausea and dehydration, which can often be mitigated by taking motion sickness medication for nausea and ensuring adequate hydration through drinking plenty of water or consuming ice.
Site injection reactions are also possible but are generally temporary. Monitor the injection site for signs of infection and seek medical advice if needed. Other potential side effects encompass a range from constipation, diarrhea, and indigestion to abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. Those with existing gastric issues should be aware that Semaglutide might worsen these conditions.
Be mindful of the risk of hypoglycemia, as Semaglutide can lower blood glucose levels. This is particularly relevant when combined with other antidiabetic medications, necessitating careful monitoring.
Additionally, Semaglutide may heighten the risk of gallbladder issues, such as cholelithiasis, characterized by symptoms like jaundice and fever. It's also associated with potential renal impairment. While rare, severe allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, angioedema, rash, and urticaria have been reported. Always consult with healthcare professionals to navigate these risks effectively.
Tips and Tricks
-Always use a new syringe for everything, mixing, administering, or transferring. This avoids any contamination.
-Sanitize everything, your hands, the vial tops, and your skin. This will avoid infection.
-If the peptide doesn't fully mix, swirl it a bit or set it in lukewarm water for a minute, then swirl gently again.
Storge
-Powder should be stored in freezer -Once reconstituted then store the liquid peptide in the Refrigerator
