Tips and tricks for OZEMPIC injection sites.
Did you know that your injection site can make a difference?
The recommended injection sites for Ozempic (semaglutide) are the upper thigh, abdomen (stomach area), or upper arm. It's important to choose a different injection site each time you take your dose to help reduce the risk of developing skin problems, such as lumps or depressions in the skin, or changes in the skin color or texture.
When injecting in the abdomen, avoid injecting in a 2-inch radius around the belly button. When injecting in the upper thigh, use the middle and outer areas, and avoid injecting near the knee. When injecting in the upper arm, use the back of the arm between the elbow and shoulder, and avoid injecting near the armpit.
It's recommended to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider on how to properly inject Ozempic. They may also provide you with a diagram or map of recommended injection sites for your reference.

Thanks for actually showing where on human body to inject. Very helpful.

I have been three months on Ozempic and dosing 1.0 and in the belly. The effect had been waning, so I did the back of my arm 4 days ago and buddy that kicked it in the butt. I had constipation for the first few days, but I upped the water intake and increased my magnesium. I'm back to indifference to food and my blood sugar is staying at an average of 101 for the past 7 days.

Thank you for your videos. My pharmacist was unwilling to give me any information on using ozempic. Didn't even bother to mention it needs to be refrigerated (thankfully, I remembered having to refrigerate Grandfather's insulin back in the day). If I may, I'd like impart a little tip for finding injection sites on the thigh. This information came courtesy of Allergy and Anaphylaxis Australia, when teaching me how to self administer my epinephrine auto-injector (epi-pen). If you stand normally, with your arms by your side, in a natural posture, hold your hand in a fist - as if you're going to hit it against your leg - the point at which your pinky finger touches your thigh... THAT'S your best injection site. If you don't want to inject the exact same spot each time, simply give yourself an area of an inch or two above and below that point (or alternate which thigh you use).

Where is this pharmacist? its best to let people know to avoid that person

@VandrothSoryn 2 месяца назад

It needs to be refrigerated at the pharmacy, but once it's been given to you, you can keep it at room temperature for eight weeks.

I injected it in my thighs and arm for 4 weeks and thought the effect was subsiding and that I need to up my dose. Three days ago I injected it in my belly (still 0.25) and it's hitting so hard, I can't really eat for two days now. 😳

@TheSpeakEasyLounge 20 дней назад

I'm on week 5 (Thursday will be #5). I've only injected in my stomach on the right 3x and once on the left side. I'm going to try my upper thigh this week due to quite a bit of nausea, and vomiting . I'm hopeful changing the sight might make a difference. I hope that you're doing better. I'm still only on .25 and am nervous about titrating up but also eager to see more success. Wishing you the best. Ask your doctor if they can prescribe you Zofran ( the desolvable tabs) they work fast and taste sweet so it won't add to the nausea.

Thanks for the video. I had bruising today injecting in my abdomen. Is this because I it a blood vessel or pushed too hard on the pen? I made sure the needle was in straight and not at an angle. I alternate my injection site every week amd this is the first time I have had any bruising. I have very little fat on my thigh and noticed a little bleeding on my third injection, so i switched to my stomach. I have had no side effects yet. Fingers crossed!

@geminuri 7 месяцев назад

I tried my thigh today and it stung lol. going back to the abdomen

@Kloops 9 месяцев назад

I really hope the thigh injection will reduce my symptoms. I am starting back on the 2 mg and until now I have been doing the injections in my abdomen only. And when I was in 2 mg before, I had the worst vomiting and diarrhea ever. The pressure was enormous and I felt I was dying.

@imagineme6406 9 месяцев назад

Be careful saying "that you felt like you wanted to die". Never put those words out into the universe.

@Kloops 9 месяцев назад

@@imagineme6406 thanks. I definitely meant more like I felt I was dying. I’ll have to change it.

@necee11 26 дней назад

In my experience, I had no symptoms when injecting in my arm or thigh. I tend to not use my stomach as an injection site due to the symptoms.

@kensredemption 5 месяцев назад

Dang…I guess I’m stuck with my belly. My arms and legs got too lean after I started working out. 😅

@foxhogg Год назад

Hi just tried my first dose, but I didn’t feel the injection going in and there was a drop of liquid on my skin, when i pulled out. Is this normal or did I miss it. I had expected to feel the needle. Not sure what to do?

@NursingBizness Год назад

Great questions. You don’t always feel the needle going in. There can sometimes be a drop of liquid on the skin but you still received the dose of medication. You are good to go until your next injection! 😊

@suzycarmichael933 11 дней назад

Does it hurt? So scared of needles

@kerrieshannon8650 Год назад

Ok didn't know you had to squeeze a chunk lol I've been just straight injecting into stomach..each week I switch sides around my belly button .. Could this be why I've stopped loosing weight?? I'm actually on it for type 2..but lost 12 lbs in 7.weeks but now 0.. And my appetite and sugar cravings are back !!!!🙄☹️

@NursingBizness Год назад

It never hurts to switch some things up to see if it makes a difference! I have had many patients start to lose weight again after switching their injection sites. I don't have any scientific data to back this up - just good ole patient feedback. 🙂

@lan1650 Год назад

Any idea why the medication leaks when injecting? I injected in the abdomen and it leaked down when i pressed the button.

@NursingBizness 11 месяцев назад

Sometimes the needle isn’t in far enough and sometimes it is simply the amount of medication being injected.

@reneek9607 3 месяца назад

If some injection sites are not absorbing as well or having as great of affect then can you only use the belly area to inject and just alternate that area only every other week? Is there a problem with doing this? Thanks!

@jacole7492 2 месяца назад

I would tell you that if you are losing weight & not rotating your injection sites, you're achieving something that works for you.

@yeseniamolina2459 Год назад

Hi im considering taking ozempic and would like to know if taking this medication cause low blood pressure.? I currently take blood pressure medication.

@NursingBizness 11 месяцев назад

It isn’t known to impact blood pressure but I would speak with your provider on if it has interactions with your specific blood pressure medications!

@MrDannyr2000 10 месяцев назад

when you inject does it bleed ?

@brutusofnn 8 месяцев назад

No bleeding unless you are doing it VERY wrong!

@gloriamathews4033 Год назад

Does being absorbed more quickly mean more side effects?

@NursingBizness Год назад

Correct, some have noticed that slower absorbing sites will result in less side effects for them.

@MrPj2001 6 месяцев назад

I initially injected on my stomach, side effects were the worst so did the thigh next and felt very minimal side effects

@marinasilvas5500 15 дней назад

I injected ozempic in my lower thigh ,should I be concerned

@joemomma1827 15 дней назад

I think as long as you get it into the fat your good. I don't have any fat on the outside of my thigh so I cant do that spot. I have plenty of fat on my inner thigh and my belly. I did the first arm injection 4 days ago and it worked great.

@necee11 26 дней назад

9 week and I've I lost zero pounds so far smh Starting 1mg today.

@johnnyr8603 10 месяцев назад

I’m extremely concerned because of all the people talking about the paralyzed stomach’s that have been in the recent media and news. Also, it should be noted that I switched the injection site from my stomach to my thigh as I didn’t know that this was an option until I saw your video. Now I have a large lump on my thigh and it has turned red. Should I be concerned?
