Reconstitution of Semaglutide
Semaglutide is typically available in a pre-filled pen for injection, which does not require reconstitution. However, if you have a vial of semaglutide that requires reconstitution, follow these general steps:
- Gather Supplies: You will need the semaglutide vial, a syringe, and a suitable needle.
- Clean the Vial: Wipe the rubber stopper of the vial with an alcohol swab to disinfect it.
- Draw Air into the Syringe: Pull back the plunger to draw air into the syringe equal to the dose you plan to withdraw.
- Inject Air into the Vial: Insert the needle into the vial and push the plunger to inject the air. This helps create a vacuum for easier withdrawal.
- Withdraw Semaglutide: Invert the vial and draw the prescribed amount of semaglutide into the syringe.
- Check for Bubbles: Tap the syringe to remove any air bubbles and ensure you have the correct dose.
- Prepare for Injection: If using a needle, replace it with a new one for the injection.
How to Use Semaglutide
- Administration: Semaglutide is administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
- Dosing:
- Initial Dose: Typically starts at 0.25 mg once weekly for the first four weeks.
- Maintenance Dose: After four weeks, the dose may be increased to 0.5 mg once weekly. Depending on the response, it can be further increased to 1 mg or higher.
- Timing: It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but should be taken consistently at the same time each week.
